        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 😉

        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.

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

            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.

              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

                    This. this is my childhood. Digging through discount bins at blue light specials in Kmart for cartridges and copying BASIC line by line from a magazine and recording it on cassette tape so we could play Yahtzee on the TV.

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

                                      Then you will enjoy the news that Commodore was bought recently and they want to build new equipments, starting with a C64.
