I don't actually have all the kinds of ideal cables.

It was never a "bus", but it did replace RS422 (which is a bus, and original AppleTalk used it), AT & PS/2 serial connections for keyboards, DB9 RS232 serial and PS/2 serial for mouse, RS232 for modems (but not for PC to PC comms!*), RS485 and the 15 pin analogue + buttons joystick port. That's what the "universal" bit meant.

[* Later there was a USB gadget with two USB-A cables for PC to PC]
And let's not forget Centronics/DB-25 (and others) for parallel ports...
