I have a green PS2 to USB adapter 

[Letgomyleghoe]

Umm

[vf1000ride]

The green ps2 adapter is an easy one.  I have a few.  How about a 7pin mini din to coax. Or maybe a female DVI connector to audio jacks.

[PlayStation 2]

If it counts, I use my VCR as a deinterlacer sometimes. 

If it also counts, VGA cables for the Xbox 360. Because yes.

I have a usb to AV video and spidif sound, I don't know if it works and I would have to find it from The Archives!!!

But in all seiousness it is probs buried DEEP

[atxcyclist]

Somewhere in a box I have an Apple Hdi-45 to DA-15 video adapter, it went with an old PowerMac 7100 I had a long time ago.

well, i guess you're not live in europe....this is scart, an analogue connector that carries R G B signal. basically VGA. a superior standard in every conceivable way than s-video and composite, other than cost.

Apple’s proprietary 30 pin connector that is so fragile based on my experience with an iPhone 4s.

Those and Lightning cables have always been really fucking fragile in all my experiences with various iPods and iPhones, both first and third-party cables. It's comically bad.

The cables arent the best but USB C ports on phones are the worst fucking thing to happen to the cell phone industry. The amount of broken ports on phones I see come into my store is way higher than any other connection ever, like its not even close. If  had to choose ill take lightning over type C every time. Also I never once had a 30 pin connector fail me on either the cable or device side

Hey, that's not even 30 pins! Hope you didn't pay full price for 1/3 pin-count.

 

As for odd connectors, are these only for external, or do internal connectors count, too? Because while I don't have a picture currently, I encountered one that was out of the ordinary (for me, anyway), and ended up destroying it trying to remove it. Luckily it was being used for testing for other purposes.

 

Also, do unit-to-unit connectors count? Because I know classic consoles had some connectors that I can try to get pics of.

[Bombastinator]

Would microusb3 to anything count?  Also what about old phone proprietary connectors from palm and Nokia and stuff?  They weren’t weird when they were made.

[Kilrah]

Probably more about weird combinations that seem would have no reason to exist than totally standard stuff that's just old.

memory stick to 3.5 inch floppy disk adapter.

and it's not meant to use on computer floppy drives

 

it was used in sony mavica digital cameras. they are the grand daddy of consumer digital cameras, and the first line of digital camera with swappable internal memory. which...

 

'

 

this is the first mavica prototype, and probably the first ever professional NON-FILM ELECTRONIC camera(not digital, but an analogue still video camera). the famous tiananmen tankman picture is taken by AP reporter using one of this model. the pictures were transmited to AP HQ using satellite link since phone and fax lines were cut.

 

what is apple fanboys anyway? they have no idea how badass Sony was back in the days.

 

 

this is sony TR-1825 solid state am radio.

IT WAS RELEASED IN 1970

it's more like a usb capture card than usb to analogue video. video out need a lot more power than usb.

 

yours came without audio in, only video in. and if they are in they should be in female, but weird nontheless.

[ARikozuM]

SATA male to SATA female extension...

 

Like why...
