Maybe it was even a 25 pin delta serial? or an external scsi port? Sounds damn peculiar indeed.

No, it's been a while since I last saw a SCSI connector of any kind, and I don't think I've ever seen a 25 pin serial (my first PC did have the 15 pin game port, though, if I recall correctly); this one was a plain old parallel port, though. Even had a small drawing of a printer on top of it on the i/o shield.
