I am not sure if this was added or not it just has one. how do I find out what model of beige I have?
System Profiler? Is whoever sold this to you totally unavailable?
also, out of curiousity, what happened when your friend plug the monitor in to the joy stick port?
Lots of smoke and stink. The cable from the port to the motherboard melted, thin little wires in that couldn't handle the power the monitor pumping out. Somewhat surprisingly, no permanent damage.
there are 2 ports on this machine one that looks like a printer port
That is almost certainly be SCSI.
and a smaller one
There should be three or four small round ones, kind of like PS/2 but the pin outs are different. One or two with four pins is ADB, Apple Desktop Bus. Two with eight pins is serial which Macs also used for networking.
those are the only 2 ports on the back besides the usual sound usb firewire etc etc.
Firewire was not standard on this vintage Macs either! According to that page I sent, there would be also be RJ45 Ether net and a weird port called AAUI which used a dongle to adapt to token ring or other network jack.
