Greetings, Timothy!
Sorry to cause confusion. DB25 connectors are older than dirt and DB9s are
only a little newer. They are commonly used for the serial output on
contemporary ATX (Wintel) platforms. They were also used at one time for
EGA monitors; I believe you can find some of these still on display in the
Smithsonian. A useful link, with pictures, found after about 2 minutes of
googling, is:

BTW: I really like your sig. May take to using it occasionally. ;-)
