Yes, and back in the day, I seem to remember that Amigans did.
The custom cable-making companies also did brisk business, due
to the odd serial port and video ports of the Amiga. I also
remember conflicts with scanners, where people would mistakenly
plug it into the parallel port when it belonged on a SCSI port
connector.
