I've got an old LC here, and on the back there's the one that looks like a PS/2 socket except that the rectangular key is 90 dertgees out (it goes left/right instead of up/down, and there's ony 4 pins that's the one for keyboard mouse etc... The apple serial ports are the same shape but they have 8 pins (and no rectangular key).
