Not having a go at you or anything, but am I the only one annoyed by 9-pin 
connectors being called a DB-9?  It's actually a DE-9; a DB-9 would be a 
25-pin shell containing 9 pins (not very practical).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature has some nice piccies.

9: DE-9
15: DA-15
25: DB-25
37: DC-37
50: DD-50

Oh, and a DB-13W3 was a video connector used by Sun etc; it has 10 pins 
and 3 video ones.
