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.
CP/M, actually. Or, for us old folk, ADA…. you can look that one up on your fancy telephone thing.(and no, I didn’t date her. I was too young at the time)
