@scottmichaud Looks like one of the serial ports to me! The little one! Be sure to set your IRQs!

@corbden Game port. Found on a bunch of sound cards, because two-in-one "save a slot" marketing.

@scottmichaud @corbden Pretty sure I saw a card once (probably 5150 era) that had a DB9 and a DB25, but it wasn't two serial ports. It was a MDA (or perhaps CGA) video port and a serial port. Totally not confusing.

@scottmichaud @corbden Aaah yes, game ports on sound cards. That was weird.
