It is the colloquial term for the connector (regardless of what the 'official' name may be):
> Several computers also used a non-standard 19-pin D-sub connector, sometimes called DB-19,[8] including Macintosh (external floppy drive), Atari ST (external hard drive), and NeXT (Megapixel Display monitor[9] and laser printer).

- raggles 2y agoIt might be the colloquial term, but if you ask someone for a DB-15 connector then theres a good chance you'll get the wrong one. I regularly use both DE-15 and DA-15 in my line of work (among others), and any document that refers to a DB-xx for anything that isn't the DB shell size will be corrected.
