I should be able to tell by looking?  Or I should memorize the
size of every plug in my house?

I was under the impression that bgmicro was a surplus electronics
catalog.  I had also heard that TI was now using a different type
of link cables.  Never mind the fact that the picture looks
identical to the cable from my 83, and the cable length is within
an inch of being the same.

I'm sorry for not being up on the standards of the 90 degree plug industry.

Hoping my future ideas decrease in dumbassity,
