Amiga parts
agnus (8371) , denise (8362) and a kickstart 315093-01 Kickstart V1.2
Amiga serial cable- image 0767.jpg/parallel cables / centronics scsi i think
not sure what the blue cables are.
@ acid did a package arrive from me today?

Top left is a motherboard & sound card header to PC joystick port. Second is a serial port header, the rest is as mjnurney said! 
Top row, left to right; PC Joystick header, 25-pin serial port header, rest is as mjnurney says.
Bottom row, left to right; 25 to 9 pin serial cable, 68-pin external SCSI cable, parallel printer cable.

Also, as this is female to female, it's most likely a null-modem cable.
50-pin (centronics-50 to HD50)
SCSI cable (centronics-50 to DB25 (apple's unofficial SCSI connector))
parallel printer cables use centronics-36
This is DB25 SCSI to 50 pins Centronic

I have many of these cables from Parallel Printers and external SCSI Towers.
More commonly used as as Printer Cables in the home last century - except in my home where I have a lot more SCSI stuff
This cable is perfect for external SCSI enclosures that have a female 50pin Centronics plug as input - the 25pin connector is great for Amiga related SCSI kit - i.e. GVP A500 HD+ and HD +8, as well as the GVP 530 and Commodores A590 to name but a few.

...except that SCSI has a 50 pin centronics, and parallel printer has a 36 pin... as someone else already posted?
I'm building 2 SCSI towers at the moment, but they both need new PSU's, the old ones are noisy and I think with failing caps.
Got the cables already, so now for some drives and off we go.

A good point and one I must concede, 36 pin Centronics is the most common for printers - I do have an old mono laser thats 50pin centronics as well as a couple of Parallel 50pin centronics in and 36pin centronics out Parallel crunch boxes.
