[GreenKeys] Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable

[Christian Gauger-Cosgrove]

Oh no, it's probably a real product. But the reviews *LOVE* to rip on
products that are hilarious. Like the whole "Three Wolf Moon" shirt.
:P

And yeah, I knew you were joking about connecting to the VT-05. But
you could technically use the ultra-expensive cable with it... if you
had a "pimpingly awesome" computer to attach the VT-05 and Ethernet
cable to. Though, in reality you only really need 8-pins for a working
serial connection. And it is an RJ-45 cable... for which they have
RJ-45 to DB25 and RJ-45 to DE9 connectors... so you actually could use
the VT-05 with that cable. Again, why any one would do that is beyond
me.

Cheers to you.
