Don't throw it out. Some day you may acquire a plotter, or something like that, that still uses a serial interface.
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.
Any machine you would want to hook up a serial console to :-) Although the cable in question would not be really useful for that - maybe as an extension. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
