your NEC Versa. For an understanding of each feature, see the descriptions
that follow the figure.
Back system features
Mouse/Keyboard Port — Use the standard PS/2 port to connect an
external PS/2-style mouse or a PS/2-style keyboard to the system. With
an optional Y-cable adapter, you can connect both a mouse and a
keyboard at the same time. Note that the VersaGlide is disabled when an
external mouse is connected.
Serial Port — Use this port to connect an external modem or other serial
device. A serial cable has a 9-pin connector.
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) — Use this port to connect a parallel
printer or other parallel device. A parallel cable has a 25-pin cable con-
nector. The Versa 4200 series also supports Extended Capability Port
(ECP).
Monitor (Video) Port — Use this 15-pin connector port to attach an ex-
ternal monitor to your NEC Versa. You can run the LCD display and the
external monitor simultaneously or run each alone.
