Alcun Atirutan BBS

@mike yeah, but the particular DINs. I had a Commodore 64, the power connector was a DIN.

@Moon @mike IBM PC had a keyboard connector like that. Ironically I never owned a keyboard with a pure PS/3 Mini-DIN connector. It always was the old DIN and a little dongle adapter. I got rid of the last of them 2 years ago.

@stuff @Moon PCs not made by IBM had that plug all the way up to where they switched to ATX cases, for the most part. PS/2 plugs started to appear on ATX motherboards. In fact, the only thing on BabyAT cases that had a dedicated window from the outside of the case to the motherboard was the PC DIN keyboard plug. Everything else was either on a card slot, or a cable up from the motherboard to a plug that screwed into the case.

It was also used for the Atari 8-bit computers, for Monitor (5 pin) and Power (7 pin, even though there was only 1 voltage and a ground, they used the 7 pin to keep you from plugging 5v into the video port.)
