Speaking of Diamond, I picked up a little gadget the other day and am in
a quandry as to its identity and purpose. I will try a little ASCII
art(?) to see if I can convey its appearance.

               ___ 15 pin micro edge connector

             |_ DB25F

The body is equipped with jack screws indicating that the male end is to
mate with some upstream unit. The micro edge connector cable is
symmetrical with the same female connector at each end and is about four
feet long. The only identification on the thing is the word "DiAMOND"
molded into the top of the body.

Any one ever seen such a critter and can give a brief explanation of its
function?

Thanks.
