Please see attached pix.

What looks like the computer side would seem to fit onto the user port
of a Commodore computer.

The other side has two male multi finger connections. The top one looks
like the user port on the computer while the  bottom one has the same
number of fingers but has locating notches cut as if for an IEEE cable.

The switches on top are two position.

Inside is a lot of fine wiring - no electronics.

Obviously homemade - see the wooden block inside.

Anyone seen this in  the old days or can guess what its' purpose is?

Ernie
