DB9 is still used on for MIDI on electronic instruments, though some manufacturers are moving to doing it with a TRS 3.5mm plug since it only uses 3 pins.

I had a mouse that plugged into the serial port, but my first computer was a Commodore 64.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 2 points 7 months ago

No, this is the rs232 connector (officially the DB9)
