Thank you for the correction. I remember now, the smallest originally was DA
with 15 pins, then DB with 25, DC with 37 and DD with 50, so quite illogically,
DE has only 9.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I used to make my own cables with Delta Bravo sized shells and no pins in place
(aka DB-0). If I only mounted nine pins then I would have a true DB-9. IIRC I
used to build DB-11 cables for synchronous RS-232 connections between a modem
and a Bunker Ramo PCU or an IBM PC (5150 / 5160).
I too wince when one of the sloppies refer to a DE-9 as a "DB-9". If I
were on a walk-in, hardware support desk I just might make up a DB-9P / DB-9P
cable to offer people when asked for a "DB-9 cable". I know full well
that they probably need a DE-9P / DE-9S cable. Yes, I know that would border on
BOFH-type behavior. Byte me.

The old designations of a single manufacturer have
mostly been supplanted with DB followed by the
number of pins. Like it or not the mavens of sub-d
designations have lost this one.
