I remember being amused by our "The Canadian Amateur" including both an

is there such thing as a db-9 hood with a bore as
large as a db-25 or
more specifically a db-23? Or what about a grommet to take up the slack
in the larger hood?
A DB-9 IS EXACTLY the same hood as a DB-25. That is what 'B' means.
'D' is the shape, 'B' is the size, 9 or 25 is number of pins.
Did you perhaps mean a DE-9?
'E' size is used for 2 row 9 pin, and for 3 row 15 pin.
Without the size letter, how would we tell the difference between a DA-15
and a DE-15?
I have some DB-9s, they have space for 25 pins, but only have pins in
positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20
The D-23 doesn't have a size letter.
