Mike Sheward“Daddy what is this cable?”
“Oh that’s called a parallel cable. A DB-25 if I remember correctly.”
“What do you use it for?”
“Literally nothing.”
“Are you going to throw it away then?”
“Absolutely not.”

@SecureOwl I have a box where I keep cables and obsolete parts like SCSI interfaces and the like.
It has saved me and people I know _several times_ by letting me scrape obsolete hard drives and other storage devices including in one case literally _tapes_.
That box can live in the server room forever. ^_^
