I just saw an unknown to me connector listed on an eBay auction and was
wondering if anyone knows more about an "FS/2" connector.

. . .
So ... does anyone know what an "FS/2" connector is?

From the fuzzy photos, looks like a DE0 (EGA? CGA?) connector to
S-video. But I'm not at all certain about that.
The DE-9 connector appears to be a female.
Therefore, it would not plug into a CGA or EGA card (which both had female
connectors on the card.
It could plug into an AT "Asynchronous Communication" card (RS232) which
had a DE-9 male connector on the card (previously a DB-25 male)
OR, it could be intended as an adapter cable, where the DIN? connector
plugged into whatever an "FS/2"might be, and then an MDA/CGA/EGA monitor
connected to the DE-9.
So, who, in May 8, or August 5, 1999 made, or made 3rd party cables for, a
machine called "FS/2" that had a DIN style video output, or a DIN style
serial port, that they would want to connect to an AT serial port or IBM
PC style monitor?
