ps2 ports were identical for keyboard/mouse so they had to color code them
only the mouse is shown here.
The RCA and 3.5mm audio jacks are all the same as well, but color coded.
Sometimes they were. And cables weren't, so if you didn't know any better you'd be plugging your headphones into Line Out. And good luck telling blue and green apart in low light while wedged between the desk and the wall.
Yeah. Haha! To be more fair, the top character in this chart should be trying to figure it out by feel, while crunched under a desk, and getting blasted by line noise.
