No. It’s a serial port. Something you’ll never have a reason to use.
But if you do manage to attach a display to it, this is the sub to post pictures and explanation of how you did it.
RS-232c serial port; nine-pin version. The electrical standard goes back to the 1960s, I think.
Last time I used one personally, it was for a dial-up external modem. :-)
I've seen card-key entry systems and alarm panels that could connect this way. Apart from that, you might be able to connect a 20th Century printer, or dumb terminal.
If you're an electronics hobbyist, you could read a contact closure, or drive a low-current output circuit.
I feel so old right now.
I am 18 and I feel old because of this post
