Tech is becoming aids. I miss the day you had an aux cable and a USB cable and that's all the fuck you needed.
Guess you're too young to remember the PS/2 cable all mouse and keyboards used.
Oooo look at this whippersnapper with his PS2 ports
5 pin din or gtfo
RJ-45 for my compaq portable keyboard, nothing else will suffice
My IBM spring keyboard had an rj45 but it was to connect the DIN to the keyboard not the other way around.
besides everyone knows real computers where build into their keyboards, no connector required.
Many digital typewriters were just 6502 or z80s with a keyboard and type wheel slapped on, no connectors needed for those either
What baud rate your serial connection needs? Parity bit? Is it even COM1 or COM2?
It wasn't better, it was annoying in a different way.
I have never in my life thought about those things
