Programmer Humor

My first PC was a Timex Sinclair 1000 and I wrote a text-based choose your own adventure game in basic for it and saved the program on audio cassette.

I actually wanted a PS2 port because it works with interrupts rather than polling but they aren't really included anymore.

I feel like they don't make boards for people like me who want small boards with a super niche port.

When a MoDT Mini-ITX board comes out with a PS2 port I will buy that instantly

i have a gaming pc built this decade that has both of those ports dude

Are these not still in use?

I've not built a tower in a few years granted, but the last one I built had PS2 ports. Heck it even had VGA for the onboard graphics.

I feel like a relic..

I used to have disc with kickstart that i needed to use so my computer would boot.

I raise

edit, actually, it might have been on the back...it's been forever since I touched one

Big keyboard jack, serial for mouse, parallel for printer

In my day, the RJ-11 jack was for connecting the keyboard, not the phone line.

The time of the classic "Keyboard missing. Press F1 to continue."

Bitch

please.

(Kidding, you’re not a bitch and this isn’t a contest. But if it was…)

Fairly certain my first computer used something like this for the keyboard. I did not have a mouse.
