mini-DIN. Regular DIN describes the older PC keyboard (and cassette on
the original PCs) connectors.


So what is the difference between mini-DIN and PS/2?


The Wikipedia article at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector shows 7 varieties of
mini-DIN. The one in the middle looks like a PS/2 connector.


BTW, I didn't see that coming. All these years and I don't remember
every learning about mini-DIN, and all I know about DIN is that car
radios come in that size.
