    Bringing together old and new technology together is ecumenical. It will be an Interface service.

    I have a crossover which goes from old serial port to USB. (The benefit of an ancient eMachine with XP.)

    Midi, Serial, Parallel, Scuzzy, can’t think of others, but thank gawd for the USB. Of course there is still HDMI and SD card connectors. Love the HDMI, I can connect the PC to the TV for streaming.

    There’s never a DB-25 to USB adapter in the junk box when you need one. .There’s good and bad about being a real old robot. One the one hand you have an eight inch. On the other, it’s a floppy.

    Maybe Oldbot could download the required software onto a floppy disc. Oh wait!
