Trust me people who use multiple monitors LOVE the VGA cable because it's +1 monitor on what usually would be only 1 HDMI slot, maybe 2 if you were lucky.

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 !

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

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.

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Damn you kids and your newfangled RS232 connectors.

I'm off the bottom of the chart.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am 50 (going on 29) and remember connections other than these in devices like the Commodore 64.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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 😆
