I am trying to identify various computers that have had
their ports
situated in the front of the chassis as opposed to the back.
The Atari 800 would be one example (game ports in the front). Are there
any other examples anyone can think of, especially where peripheral (disk,
printer) or perhaps network ports are concerned?
Didn't the IBM PCjr have two aux sockets on the front for game cartridges
and I thought there was a printer interface that could use those sockets,
and a floppy drive interface as well (could be wrong).
And of course Mac's up to the Mac Plus have the keyboard port in the
front, as well as I have seen some old PC clones like that (but I suspect
that isn't exactly what you are looking for).
