Hello, i was recently looking through some old stuff and founds this, but i don't know what it is and what it does. Can anyone recognize it and help me? Thanks! https://m.imgur.com/QK37OW9,vBNGUu9

That black port looks like a parallel port (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port). They used to be used for printers, and still have some usability if you have a printer that isn't working via wifi or USB, and has a parallel port.

edit: looks like they're both parallel ports, just different versions
