Don't throw it out. Some day you may acquire a plotter, or something

If I'd kept all the electronics and cables that I'd had "in case I might
need it some day", my basement would be full of old stuff, 386 desktops,
486 servers, SCSI hard drives, EISA controllers, etc. I had some old AST
Rampage boards I had received back in 1988 "just in case" I might need
them.

I would guess that if one were to acquire a device that needed a serial
cable, one would still not be difficult to find.
