No. Typical house sizes here in the UK mean that all of us UK members have
it. I imagine many of the US crowd have the same problem, too. In
continental Europe, typical house sizes are larger, but most people live in
apartments, so goodness knows what they do!
Seriously, other than moving (or collecting pocket
calculators), is there
a cure to having more computers than floorspace for them?
If it's just floorspace you're worried about, you can sit them on
shelves, furniture, each other... :-) But I've seen your house, so I
know your problem is worse than mine, and I envy you your tolerant
parents...
The solution is for several people in the same area to club together and
buy a warehouse, derelict factory or ex-secret wartime government
research base. Even an aircraft hangar might do, although the design
parameters are not optimal for computer storage. Any takers? (Central
or SW England for me, London for Tony)
size - from memory, the standard ones are :
DE9 (PC serial port, Atari joystick, etc)
DA15 (Ethernet AUI, PC games port, etc) -- The one we're talking about
DB25 (Standard RS232, PC printer port, etc)
DC37 (PC external disk port, Canon CX engine interface, etc)
DD50 (Sun SCSI port, etc)
The high-density ones are :
DE15 (PC VGA monitor)
DA?? (Never seen it)
DB44 (Never seen it used, but it's in the catalogues)
DC62 (PC expansion cabinet, etc)
That's what I thought. Any idea what the 19 pin one on some Macintoshes
is called?
