∙ 11y agoThe keyboard is connected to the serial port due to the fact that serial cords are much faster at transmitting and receiving data compared to a parallel cord. Serial sends multiple data in both directions and parallel can only send data along a few lines in only one direction, so the data has to wait for the path to clear before data paths can switch.
