Two of them have a strange VGA-style port sticking out of the security slot. When I cracked open one of these, I saw that this port is connected by a cable to a daughtercard on the motherboard. I was unable to pull the motherboard without disconnecting some wires to this port, but I was able to see that the card had a copyright notice from Lapis Technologies on it.
Indeed the name Lapis suggests video but it is not 100% confirmation. How many pins on the external connector? A 15 pin female D connector is strongly indicative of video; a 25 female D connector suggests SCSI or other I/O. If there is a real daughterboard, can you describe any of the chips?
Any chance of pictures?
