Identify this cable?

Ideas?

Here's another mystery cable.



This one should be easier. This is probably a poor man's  Amiga parallel port to midi adapter? If so, what software would support it?

It's not a C64 to parallel printer?  Or C64 floppy drive to Amiga serial port?

Nope, wrong DIN connector. This 4pin DIN would be appropriate for MIDI. Commodore IEC is 6pin DIN.

Looking at the photo I see at least five pins, I think there are six and the bottom two look like one because of the pic.

My mistake, I should have said 5pin DIN. But yes, that is definitely MIDI. I have multiple MIDI interfaces here and they are all 5pin DIN.

The lower pic most probably is a 1541-adapter for the parallel port. If you open the d-sub plug and there's no electronics inside, it can't be a MIDI i/f. The contacts of a MIDI plug are arranged in a semi-circle.

100% this is not an X1541 cable, the DIN is a MIDI. C= IEC is 6pin DIN, MIDI is 5pin din.
