Yes, IEC has been around a LOOOONNNNGGGG time!

I've been looking for a y-cable for the peripheral port of a TI-99 for quite
a while, when someone else found that IEC still has TI-99 cables! Including
the elusive y-cable! I believe my original y-cable was from IEC (I hacked it
for something else ;(

Yes, the prices appear to be 80's prices as well, but then again, these
pieces are now rare...
