In telecommunications, RS-232 is a standard for serial binary data interconnection between a DTE (Data terminal equipment) and a DCE (Data communication equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports. RS is an abbreviation for "Recommended Standard".

- Simple RS232 for Printer usage (DIY) (one-directional, transmit only)
- Z80-SIO dual ports RS232 interface for CPC (French) (DIY)
Unidentified Interfaces
Interfaces where I/O ports and/or chipset are unknown:
- Cirkit twin-port serial interface (resold by Microstyle)
- Data Media Disc System (disc drive with built-in RS232 interface) (Data Media)
