     @tsugumi they could've drawn them better, especially that SCSI centronics port which looks painted on

     @takao @tsugumi it looks like they use a 3d model of a god damn box and just pasted a gif of a port diagram on it

     @Moon @tsugumi welp, it wasn't SCSI. Shit's too hard to read on that screencap.

     @zaitcev @coolboymew @takao @tsugumi yeah it predates ps2 but basically nothing was actually standardized back then. I mean, the connectors were, but not what they were used for.

     @Moon @coolboymew @takao @tsugumi That looks like a fairly normal V.24 port to me. The mouse is probably a simple serial port too. The rest seem non-standard.

     The RS-232 looks like the parallel port used for connecting old legacy printers and scanners.
     
     Been a long time since i used a serial or parallel port device and nowadays there's adapters to convert them to USB anyways.

     Thanks for that tidbit moon. I was not aware and I will keep that in mind in the future for reference if I ever come across a need or use case.

     @PurpCat @Moon @takao @tsugumi And it doesn't works into a serial port? (drivers not withstanding) Because this is a DE-9 connector.

     @lanodan @Moon @takao @tsugumi on later models it uses the same round plug as most Microsoft inport mice and isa cards hence those mice work with no modifications on the pc98

     @lanodan @PurpCat @Moon @takao @tsugumi I try not to guess the protocol too eagerly especially from too generic D-sub connectors, after having seen a cable with DE-9 at both ends that was not a null modem and heard sad stories about mis-connecting DB-25(M) serial extension to DB-25(F) paralell port…

     @ledoian @PurpCat @Moon @takao @tsugumi Oh yeah reminds me of weird RJ45 - DE-9 passive adapters.
     And the 90's were a weird era for computers.

     @lanodan @PurpCat @Moon @takao @tsugumi I do not yet know, how big can of worms is weird usage of RJ-45 ports, but those are also common I think.

     I am almost sure one of our network switches has a mgmt console on RJ-45 port, with an adapter to RS-232/DE-9 attached, only to it being immediately converted to USB to attach it to a “normal” machine…
