It's simple:
DB-25 male: serial port
DB-25 female: parallel port
Except...on a peculiar ISA dual-port serial card that HP made
for the early HP Vectras. One D?-9S like a PC/AT serial
port, one DB-25S. To be fair, HP put a plastic tag out one side
of the slot to remind you that this was a serial port.
