 What is port?
A port is a connector on a mother board or on a separate adapter
that allows a device to connect to a computer, usually with a socket
or plug which we called connectors.

A connector is the end of the cable that connects into a

port, used within computers or to connect computers to
networks, printers or other devices.

The PS/2 (Personal System/2) port, also referred to as
the mouse port or keyboard port, was developed by IBM.
It is used to connect a computer mouse or keyboard to
an IBM compatible computer. The PS/2 port is a mini DIN
plug containing six pins and is still sometimes found on
all IBM compatible computers.

DVI (Digital Visual

Short for Digital Visual Interface, DVI is a video display
interface. It was developed for transmitting digital video
content to display devices at resolutions as high as 2560 x
1600. DVI can even be used with some TVs, although HDMI is
more common as only some DVI cables can transmit audio
signals.
