Yeah, same cables but different specifications is a danger; I've got old HDMI / DP cables for example, they're backwards compatible and still fit into modern systems of course, but won't do 4K / 144 hz (or whatever).

One day I'll sort the box out. There's even SCART and PATA cables in there, as well as my old diskette holder.

...I should try and build myself a vintage PC sooner rather than later. Mind you, my dad got rid of all our old shareware diskettes years ago, unfortunately.
