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.
Was the tape to cover the write protect notch on the floppy?
Nah, we got them fancy sliding tabs on those. I was talking about loading programs from tape LOL.
Ah so you're talking about the rigid floppies
