From left to the right, you can see on top of the board the extension bus, the parallel printerport, the cooling device from the power-regulators, the powerplug, the cassetteport and the UHF modulator for the output to a TV-set. On the right-hand side, just under the UHF modulator you can see the already extended video-memory. On the left, under the red wire, the workspace-memory.
