Mystery cable

I recently got some stuff for my 360LX and in the box was this cable and I didnt know if any of you know what PDA this may go to. ? The other end of the cable is a 15 pin.

Maybe it's a 14pin SCSI cable?

Thinking it went to some type of video adapter...

The guy who put it in the box says it is indeed a video cable for a PDA. But I am not sure what PDA. It came with HP parts, maybe it goes to 660LX ? I dunno.

It looks like a bit of an odd choice to go with a DA-15 connector instead of a DE-15 VGA connector if it is a video output cable. Maybe the output is compatible with old Macintosh monitors?

Yes it def looks like a 15 pin Apple end. Maybe it goes to a Newton ?

But Ive never heard of a Newton having a video output... hmm... they mystery continues ey ? hehe

This is driving me nuts lol in a good way trying to figure this out :-)

My Jornada 820s use a VGA cable and 'HP Show' to output video to an external monitor.
Edit: It is though just a standard vga cable.

I thought about it a little longer and it didn't make any sense for a Windows CE device to be compatible with Macintosh monitors, so I went and did some research of my own.

AUI also used a DA-15 connector, so now I'm thinking that this is an adapter cable for a network card.

It maybe a network cable for a Newton. I have to find a good picture of serial port on the message pads. I have 5 Emate 300's but they are much different than the Messagepad units.

Could be this, if it was a MDR 14. This has RCA cable at the other end. The shape of the terminal looks similar in my opinion.
