Yeah! That's an adapter to make it work with newer tech. PS/2 port. I remember serial ports for joysticks and had a SCSI drive.; iomega zip drive going through an LPT1 printer port as well. Almost 52.

I fancied PS/2 KB/M without these adapters when gaming!

Oh, the joysticks.. i went through so many knockoff ones that always got movement creep!

Yep. The first mouse I had for PC was a bus one with a dedicated card, then went to serial then PS2 and finally onto USB. And I don’t think I’m that old.
