Internal, in this context, refers to whether or not it is the ASIC itself
which handles these ports. Eg, it handles the MIDI interactions so that is
internal, but there is a seperate sound chip so those ports are classed
external. The floppy ports are also so a seperate chip, and I think the
printer ports are external too.

Hmmm, if you're simulating the printer port, would it be possible to
attach a virtual EdDAC to it?
