     There may be such a cable; but, it is likely to be a specialty item. 
For one thing, having to connect to the rear sockets of both the GS and 
PC for what is, normally, a temporary setup would be an inconvenience. 
For another, there are better, cheaper, commonly available cables.

     The usual way to go from GS mini-DIN to PC DB9 via NULL modem is to 
connect modem cables-- i.e. cables ending in 25-pin modem plugs-- coming 
from each machine to a NULL modem connector (like the one available from 
Radio Shack for a few dollars).
