You had me confused for a minute there, that's a PC/XT connector. AT used the same one but with different signalling (hence the XT/AT switch on the bottom of many old PC keyboards).

That reminds me, I also used some early Mac's with the RJ10 phone jack style keyboard connector too. That was replaced with ADB iirc.

Nice, I did use terminals back in the 80's (very common in local libraries), but I dont recall what sort of keyboard connectors they used.

EDIT: might have even been these ones from Wyse.

We still have one of those old RLL/MFM drives.

Bloody thing is massive for only something like 20 MB in size

I still have a working 40MB SCSI drive from my Mac SE sitting on my shelf - I think that's the smallest in my collection. I replaced it with a BlueSCSI SD card solution.

Wish I'd kept the 10MB HDD from my first computer in 1985...got the computer from a local IMB clone company. IIRC it cost me about $1,000. So exciting...started a life-long fascination w/geeky stuff. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m concerned by my knowledge of pretty much all of those portsā€¦ and by the fact that my sons who also share my geeky genes would know almost none of theseā€¦

Oldest port I could find...looks like it pre-dates computers by a bit, but also looks like a lot more fun. :wink:

I also noticed that 10Base2 with the BNC coax connectors was missing. I built my first home network with those.
