networking and communications, and additional processing power. Your

m an LC-processor-direct slot (LC-PDS) for most expansion cards
m a communication slot for an internal modem or Ethernet card
m a video-in slot for a card that brings signals into the computer from a
videocassette recorder (VCR), laserdisc player, video camera, or
similar device
You can also install the following additional options in your Macintosh:
m an external video connector kit that allows video mirroring on an
external monitor
m a TV tuner card that allows you to watch TV on your Macintosh
