Back in my day we didn't have no fancy AT keyboard connector, the keyboard was part of the computer and that's how we like it.

Vic20 -> C64 -> Atari 2600 -> Amiga 500 -> 286 ... I actually don't even remember but it has a shitton of cores.
I just printed off this year's greeting cards via printshop via c64 emulator VICE.
Go me.

Radio Shack TRS 80 was my OG.
Ha my days spent retyping hundreds of lines of code from a brick of a book that came with it to end up spitting out errors!
Those damn , and . Got confused a lot.
I had no tape backup or floppy drive so lost everything at power down.
Loads of fun tho !
We’re not dead yet.
glances at MX518 on Max Payne mousepad
Fuck.
I'm 40 and my first machine was a commodore sx64. I'm not old lol.
Your old in social media terms. Anyone over 35 is a literal dinosaur. I'm in the same boat.
Proud ex owner of an amiga 500, and amiga 2000...
Blew up quite a few Denise chips, iirc, with parents cables.
The 2000 had 2.5 megabytes, the 500 only 1megabyte, and it was fucking wonderful.
I now have 64gb and I still wonder if it's enough
Damn you kids and your newfangled RS232 connectors.

Din & DE9 gang represent
Thank you for actually calling it DE9!
A DB9 would have been 9 pins in a shell the size of a DB25 port!

DIN and RS232 gang!
I’m 8-track tape in my first car old.
I'm off the bottom of the chart.
I am 50 (going on 29) and remember connections other than these in devices like the Commodore 64.
That 5 pin DIN was on the older C64s for the AV port. I had a newer one as well and they switched to an 8 pin variant. C64s also used similar DIN connectors for the power supply and disk drive.
Um Young kid is actually USB-C now and it's a mobile device 😆
