- One is for a disk drive, I think it's the one on the right, looking at it
- from the back(the one next to the user port and cassette port)
- the other one is for a monitor I guess. The computer originally came with an
- adaptor that plugged in the back that gave you a regular RF output for a TV set
- I'm sure you'll have fun with the whopping 3.5K RAM for basic ;^)
