The original Mac and the Mac 512K both used DE-9 sockets for the serial
ports. They were not wired the same as the DE-9 serial sockets on a PC. The
mouse port on the Mac 128K, 512K and Plus also used a DE-9 connector. As you
said, the mini DIN-8 serial connectors were introduced with the Mac Plus and
the mini DIN-4 ADB with the IIgs and later the Mac SE and II.
