Not so wierd! My first "PC" had a serial port (DB25 for all

Many of the early "dumb terminals" were simple teletypes. :)
The S100 bus based micros (such as the Cromemco Z2) used
serial terminals (such as the VT100) for the display also.
BTW for those interested or curious about the old computers or
the history of micro-computing, visit the old computer museum
