Wow, this was funny. No offense to anyone, but asking me to identify a parallel port is really no different in my eyes than identifying a USB port. DB-25 anyone?

I still have keyboards that use an AT port!

@DJ Almix - Why edit your post and remove the original question? Forums should technically be a resource that's referred to in the future.

I figured small question posts usually get deleted or something to save space? (The threads that usually end with "I've got my answer, a mod can lock this now).

Din-5, used for keyboards way back in the day. It looks like a ps/2 connection only twice the size with 1 less pin.

View several pics of various ports here. The centronics throws me way back. Don't think I've seen that since my amiga. (I think thats what it might have used for the dot matrix printer)

Regular threads don't get locked or deleted. We won't even lock them half the time is the user requests it, unless there's some kind of AUP violation happening.

Ahhh, good ole parallel port. I like them much better than those silly serial things - dump data at the port then come by and scrape it up at your leisure. No clocks or clock recovery to worry about.
