Since you asked for it, the PC joystick connector was a DA-15;
the PC VGA connector was a DE-15.

It is sometimes caalled that.

More interesting is that All-In-One for the VAX comes on RX02 and RL02
disks.
I wasn't aware that the VAX or VMS even supported RX or RL disks.
Sure. The 8600 and 11/730 used an RL02 as the boot/startup media. RX02
is a bit odd, but I could see that being supported on a Unibus adapter

Yes, the console floppy on an 11/780 was an RX02, and VMS supported
"virtualizing" it through the LSI-11 console computer so you could
mount it just like any other device.
I thought it was an RX01 on an 11/03? It's an RX02?

Before moving it worked; you'd power it on, the LCD status countdown
would get to an OK value, but the CRT wasn't legible. I figured I'd be
wrenching on the CRT.
