Yes, the middle hole is strange.
However, port 2 is under the diskdrive as well.
I wonder if the middle hole was put there by Panasonic or by a hardware
hobbyist.
Tristan or Manuel (or whoever is in charge of the photos), do you know who
uploaded the picture?

Oops! You're right.
I think I was confused because I hold both sides when I switch it on, to
make sure the machine doesn't just move over the floor instead of powering
up.
My GT is on the floor, because my joystick cable is not long enough to
reach from the GT's usual spot to where I sit when I play games on my TV.

Aliens disguised their advanced tech as a GT, but they were in a hurry and
got a few details wrong. If we ever catch this thing, we should submit it
to a Turing test.
