What did we USE before USB?
Added 2018-05-07 11:27:07 +0000 UTCUSB seems as common place now as Ford Mondeos did in the 90s. So here's a video exploring what ports we used beforehand.
I'm sure most of us already know all of this, but its a nostalgic trip none the less.
I hope you're having a great bank holiday weekend, for those of us who are having a bank holiday weekend.

Really interesting video, but i don't miss RS232 Port. Making sure the cable was right (i had, still have, a book called RS232 made easy which detailed a lot of common RS232 connections), also IRQ and address settings. On the plus side RS232 did give us the classic Spitting Image sketch about RS232 Interface leads.
