Considering the age of that vintage computer, certainly this port is in order for this festive event.

Before I retired I used to have to have a port replicator for my laptop to communicate with all sorts of hardware via a serial port. That was only a couple of years ago and some of the hardware (GPS, data radios etc.) was new.

Intel i7 3770K @4.4GHz, 32GB RAM, 240GB SSD System disk, 2 x 2TB and 1 x 1TB (with SSD Cache) HDD. Windows 10,  Sonar Platinum. Roland Quad Capture.

Port replicator sounds like some kind of TOS violation to me.

It does have what I THINK (IIRC) the standard serial port symbol above it.
 




 
Wasn't that something like; OIO ?






“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.
