"do you know what ps/2 ports are?"

"holy cow, PlayStation 2? you must be AT LEAST 25!"

[dying inside intensifies]

I raise

edit, actually, it might have been on the back...it's been forever since I touched one

Big keyboard jack, serial for mouse, parallel for printer

Bitch

please.

(Kidding, you’re not a bitch and this isn’t a contest. But if it was…)

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

The time of the classic "Keyboard missing. Press F1 to continue."

You guys had keyboards?

An elegant port for a more civilized time

Fairly certain my first computer used something like this for the keyboard. I did not have a mouse.

I remember a time when they weren't colour coded...

My first PC was a Timex Sinclair 1000 and I wrote a text-based choose your own adventure game in basic for it and saved the program on audio cassette.

My brother in Christ, I also used this

And I'm 17

lol PS/2 ports are the newer ones. There were larger AT ports and ADB ports in addition to the 25-pin(!) LPT port (printer mostly) and COM ports (random peripherals including early mice, pre ps/2)

Old enough

Look at you with your fancy ps/2 keyboard port. Where's my AT port and 9 pin serial mouse.

"how old are you?"

PS/2

No, not the PlayStation.....

I'm this old.

I said the real two genders.

if I remember correctly my first PC had the bigger DIN connector for the keyboard and a DSUB9 for the mouse. Guess I'm old ;)

Back in my day they weren't color coded.

i have a gaming pc built this decade that has both of those ports dude

I actually wanted a PS2 port because it works with interrupts rather than polling but they aren't really included anymore.

I feel like they don't make boards for people like me who want small boards with a super niche port.

When a MoDT Mini-ITX board comes out with a PS2 port I will buy that instantly
