ADB might have been the pinnacle. I had a VGA connector AND an ADB connector on my AppleVision monitor.

  Oh, yeah. Forgot about ADB. Was that the same pinout as AppleTalk, or were they just annoyingly similar?

    Generally there was a printer port and a modem part, but only the printer one could do LocalTalk. Otherwise, they were both RS432 serial. Which was annoyingly similar in name and connector to the ADB port for the keyboard and mice.

    ADB has the same physical connection as S-Video. AppleTalk is the protocol, but LocalTalk was the RS-422 implementation, and Apple's first party implmentation used different cables from ADB. But everyone I know used LocalTalk over "PhoneNet" adapters which used cheap RJ11 phone cable and were way cheaper overall.
