2. RS-232 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232

   PCI Express x1 card with one RS-232 port on a nine-pin connector. In the book PC 97 Hardware Design Guide, [9] Microsoft deprecated support for the RS-232 compatible serial port of the original IBM PC design. Today, RS-232 has mostly been replaced in personal computers by USB for local communications. Advantages compared to RS-232 are that USB ...

3. Serial port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

   The 9-pin DE-9 connector has been used by most IBM-compatible PCs since the Serial/Parallel Adapter option for the PC-AT, where the 9-pin connector allowed a serial and parallel port to fit on the same card. [4] This connector has been standardized for RS-232 as TIA-574.

4. D-subminiature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

   On PCs, 25-pin and (beginning with the IBM PC/AT) 9-pin plugs were used for the RS-232 serial ports; 25-pin sockets were used for parallel ports (instead of the Centronics port found on the printer itself, which was inconveniently large for direct placement on the expansion cards). Many uninterruptible power supply units have a DE-9F connector ...

5. 9-Pin Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-Pin_Protocol

   It uses an DE-9 D-Sub connector with 9 pins (hence the name), where bi-directional communication takes place over a four wire cable according to the RS-422 standard. While nowadays all post-production editing is done with a non-linear editing system, in those days editing was done linearly, using online editing. Editing machines relied heavily ...

6. Null modem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_modem

   A null modem adapter. Null modem is a communication method to directly connect two DTEs (computer, terminal, printer, etc.) using an RS-232 serial cable.The name stems from the historical use of RS-232 cables to connect two teleprinter devices or two modems in order to communicate with one another; null modem communication refers to using a crossed-over RS-232 cable to connect the teleprinters ...

7. COM (hardware interface) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_(hardware_interface)

   COM port (DE-9 connector). COM (communication port) [ 1 ] [ 2 ] is the original, yet still common, name of the serial port interface on PC-compatible computers . It can refer not only to physical ports, but also to emulated ports, such as ports created by Bluetooth or USB adapters .
