What did we USE before USB?

USB 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.

What did we USE before USB?

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.

Funny you should mention that....

Now we need a video for the "mother of all adapters" that takes a mouse from USB to something like serial but uses all the connectors in-between.
