You mean I'm not the olnly classiccmp member to have a space problem...

Seriously, other than moving (or collecting pocket calculators), is there
a cure to having more computers than floorspace for them?

Almost certainly they are. There is no connector called a DB15 in _any_
catalogue I've looked in. The letter after the 'D' specifies the shell
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)
