Mike Sheward“Daddy what is this cable?”
“Oh that’s called a parallel cable. A DB-25 if I remember correctly.”
“What do you use it for?”
“Literally nothing.”
“Are you going to throw it away then?”
“Absolutely not.”
Sam I Am@SecureOwl analog modems might make a comeback
Speed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸@SamIAm @SecureOwl DB-25 parallel cable would be a printer cable. Pretty sure some point-of-sale machines still use them :-) for printing receipts.
Cruft builds up in our heads, just like in our attics.
Modems, at least the high-speed ones like 2400 baud (gosh) that I started out with, would be serial, and mostly with DB-9 connectors, rarely DB-25. :-) .
Will I ever NOT know this? Ctrl-S, XOFF, Ctrl-Q,XON. RTS/CTS and DSR/DTR lines. Ctrl-C, Break.
@#$%$%@^*%&* Connection Lost
@hakona @SecureOwl tap on CTRL-G a few times to get their attention. Hayes modems had the DB-25 connector.
