   @djsumdog @Cloudscout Nah, it's more like proprietary connector (13-pin DIN) → Serial / PS2-Mouse / Apple.
   
   And as Sun's similar port to Apple also had mouse port on the keyboard I'm guessing it's for like a device that would be both PC and Apple compatible where keyboard&mouse would be needed, an old KVM switch maybe?

     It looks like it just converts an RS-232 serial mouse to either PS2 or the Apple mouse port. Is that not it?

     For nearly 5 years, I've been trying to figure out what this adapter is supposed to connect to. It's still a mystery. Someday, the right person is going to see this post and they'll finally solve this puzzle.
