Also got a strange Commodore cable. It has what
looks like a double
ended HP-IB connector one end and a card edge connector on the other. All
the connectors have 24 contacts. Both ends have a heavy braided ground
strap. It looks like it's about 2 foot long. Any one know what this is
for?
That is a PET to IEEE-488 cable, used to interface Commodore IEEE-488
Printers, Modems and Disk Drives to the PET/CBM, B-128 or P-500 series
computers. They are getting hard to come by so if you think you may get
a Commodore PET/CBM/B/P computer one day I would advise you hang onto
it.
