What kind of connector is this? I remember seeing them on 1970s audio equipment, maybe for mic in?

It's an AT/ XT keyboard connector.

And back then if we did have a mouse, it was square, and used a 9pin serial port

This reminds me when a mouse was an option not a requirement

Not with some GUI tools, no. Even tabbing through buttons seems to be optional nowadays.

DEFINITELY optional

go go gadget commandline

My keyboard still uses a PS/2 port via adapter. 1986 Model M, still clicky.
