[Ham-Computers] Plug name?

[Adam Liette]

Should all be mini-din. Apple serial I believe is 8 pin, ADB is 4, while PS/2 is maybe 6. Some of the modern 2m and 440MHz rigs use something of the sort for data ports, also.

The PS/2's I'd buy were called DINs, but these are different, at least the 
number of pins and locations are.

Isn't that a mini-din? Apple products used those for serial ports and Apple 
Desktop Bus (ADB) keyboards and mice.

The Apples and Macs use a plug of the same size and shape as a PS/2, but it
has space for a total of 9 pins and no key.  It is used for bi-directional
comms, on the old computers, it was called "daisychain".  What is the name
of this plug format?
