Hi all.

I just found this strange cable here. One end is a standard 9-pin
serial port connector, and the other end is what looks like a 1/8 inch
standard headphone connector.

Does anyone know what this is used for? I thought that it might be
used to do backups onto a tape via a serial port maybe, but I didn't
want to plug one end into a serial port, and the other end into a
microphone jack of a tape player, and risk frying one or both
devices. BTW, the serial port end does in fact plug into a serial port
just fine, and the headphone end plugs into a headphone socket on a
tape player, or any other device with a headphone jack just fine as
well. Thanks.

Greg
