Centronics. What an upgrade from serial!
Our mainframe/COBOL programmers back in the '80s/'90s wanted color monitors to the IBM mainframe. Talk about crazy expensive! I think several thousands of $ back then. Along that time is when the 286 CPU came out. We could buy a 286 PC with an emulator card for far less. The graphic card was EGA/EGA monitor. There was a hot-key to hop between the mainframe and the PC side of things. Alt-Esc. With a mainframe you were only sending screen shots basically anyway. I know some people that dealt with propagating inventory to eCommerce sites found two or more monitors helpful.
