What connector is this?

Hey guys,

My brother just picked up a logic 3 sprintpad JT265 from a carboot sale and he is a bit confused as to what the connector is and how to connect to his pc that has no serial/com ports.

Does anyone know what kind of connector this is?

Thanks

15 pin D-sub. It's actually a gameport connector that was used for game controllers before USB became popular. Some old motherboards used to have them onboard, as did old sound cards. There might be a gameport to USB adaptor available, you'd need to use one of those.

Awesome mate, thanks a lot!

Yeah, USB to game-port adapter you will need. Around £10

Makes me feel old when people don't recognise this connector
