"how old are you?"
Mmmm - turbo button. Classic.

The time of the classic "Keyboard missing. Press F1 to continue."
You know that thing that you don't have? You should press buttons on it.
Fuck you computer....

Ooh, I had a serial mouse (9 pin) from Microsoft of all companies, in the 90's.
Damn good mouse.
Microsoft used to make good peripherals

BTW, Commodore got bought out.
They are releasing C64 again.
I wonder if this will be like the VCS. I have one, and its awesome for the price if you like to tinker.

what the actual hell is that? a port connector for the borg?

I did have a converter from this to a ps/2 connection when I got a newer computer.
Should also work with a USB to PS/2 so you can use it on a modern machine if you want. Some modern keyboards are still backward compatible as well. I have a USB keyboard I can use on my old Din machines using two adapters.

Runs on AMD Artix 7 FPGAMaybe I'm an idiot, but I ordered one when they announced it. I have 2 perfectly good C64s already but the CRT whine drives my dog and kid nuts, so looking forward to HDMI!

And the newer ones then "removed" the color coding by doing one half of the circle in green, the other half in purple...
Those are just a combined port. You can use it for one or the other or use a splitter for both. The dual port was very popular on 90s laptops.

I used a PS/2 keyboard until like 2 years ago. At some point over 10 years ago I decided that I'd only replace it when it died. But it wasn't very good at dying, and 2years ago I finally had enough of the cheap rubbery switches and the fact that I couldn't press enough keys at the same time
Those things just keep on going. I also have one that was in working condition as of a couple of years ago, which was the last time I needed a spare. It probably still works. That PS/2 rubberdome survived a bath in hot chocolate and then being completely disassembled so that I could clean out the goop that had leaked in between the membranes, and went on to handle several more years of daily wear and tear before I splurged on a New Model M.

Don't forget the serial input for gamepads and joysticks in the dedicated sound board for some reason
Early PC only had 5 card slots, and the only jack on the motherboard was the keyboard. One slot is going to be used by a video card, one’s probably being used by a hard drive controller, one’s probably used by a parallel + serial card. Soundcards also included controller ports to try to save a slot.

It's a connector for an IBM 7000 series mainframe.

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

It's little endian, so the beads on the far right are used to outnumber the big endian beads at the top on the woke left. After several computations, the middle section is just gone
Tried reading about endianness once. Pretty sure it can't be dumbed down enough for my brain.
