    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 😉

      I had a VIC-20, the predecessor to the C64...

      Same here. I was so excited when we upgraded to a 128, and skipped the 64 entirely. That was some serious computing power.

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

            Please explain? I get that the chubby bird is speaking assembly, but I'm sure there's more to it than that?

              There are HDMI mods for the C64 as well.

              Yep, that's how the new one is getting HDMI. They've collaborated with several of the major hardware guys and put it all together in a pretty package at a cheaper price then doing it myself. I already have a bunch of hardware, this is just a splurge.

                PS2 keyboards use interrupts rather than polling in USB, meaning every time a key is pressed the CPU stops what its doing to process it.

                    Keyboard slows down the CPU because it gets priority over whatever the CPU is working on so the keyboard could cause your system to lag.

                    Back then all we had was single core CPUs.

                      That’s so cool! Did you work on those back in the 60s?

                      Nah, I'm not that old. My dad was in tech so I got to see a lot of neat old stuff growing up.

                        Could be worse, could be that one.

                          Cool! I had no idea it was deeper than just a physical interface change.

                                Same. I remember needing converters for these newfangled PS/2 connectors. Then again, I am old enough that I remember why floppies were called floppies, and used tape for more than just backup. And hard drives being as big as a shoe box and with less storage than you now have as CPU caches.

                                      I know you're probably being facetious... but the PS/2 port is what's shown in the OP image.

                                      that said the Playstation 2 had USB ports, you could just plug a regular keyboard into it
