The protocol is 30 years old. It has been replaced 3 times over by thunderbold. The connector doesn't fit on most modern devices and has been replaced by usb-c.

Why would anyone want it back?

  • the peripherals that use it are significantly cheaper now than their modern alternatives, and the cables go farther than USB 2.0 let alone 3.0 or thunderbolt. I like it for reasons similar to why I like VGA, namely price while still being good enough for modern usage.
