lol! In my 25 years in the computer field, I've *never* encountered a
"standard" when it came to cables. [1] Even within the same
manufacturers/vendors!
Interfacing Commodore-64 ports using generic cables would seem a march
hare mission. I'm afraid I'd have to agree with the others who
suggest hacking existing cables or rolling your own.

[1] The only standard regarding RS-232 is that there is none!
