You obviously need a copy of Newton's Telecom Dictionary (12th or 13th
edition and a 14th will be coming out in early '98) by Harry Newton,
or The Computer Glossary" by Alan Freedman, or the "Microsoft Press
Computer Dictionary"...all of which have good explanations of DB, DB-9, etc.
In this case it appears to mean Data Bus connector.
I recommend all of these books as excellent reference materials that
you will use again and again.
