### Connectors

[thumb\|290px\|Backside of the base of the Amiga 500\. From left to right, it features two [Atari joystick ports](/wiki/Atari_joystick_port "Atari joystick port"), two audio connectors, a floppy drive port, a serial and a parallel port, a power input, and two separate inputs for RGB and monochrome monitors.](/wiki/File:AMIGA500-3.jpg "AMIGA500-3.jpg")
[thumb\|right\|The Amiga 520 adapter allows for an [RF modulated](/wiki/RF_modulator "RF modulator") output to be connected to a TV, or composite output to a monitor.](/wiki/File:Amiga_520_1.jpg "Amiga 520 1.jpg")

* Two [Atari joystick ports](/wiki/Atari_joystick_port "Atari joystick port") for [joysticks](/wiki/Joystick "Joystick") or [mice](/wiki/Mouse_%28computing%29 "Mouse (computing)")
* Stereo audio [RCA connectors](/wiki/RCA_connector "RCA connector") ( [p\-p](/wiki/Peak-to-peak "Peak-to-peak"))
* A floppy drive port (DB23F), for daisy\-chaining up to 3 extra floppy disk drives via a [DB23F](/wiki/D-subminiature "D-subminiature") connector
* A standard [RS\-232](/wiki/RS-232 "RS-232") serial port (DB25M)
* A [parallel port](/wiki/Parallel_port "Parallel port") (DB25F)
* Power inlet (, )
* [Amiga video connector](/wiki/Amiga_video_connector "Amiga video connector"): Analogue [RGB](/wiki/RGB_color_model "RGB color model")  PAL and  NTSC video output, provided on an Amiga\-specific [DB23M](/wiki/DB23 "DB23") connector. Can drive video with  [HSync](/wiki/Horizontal_sync "Horizontal sync") for standard Amiga video modes. This is not compatible with most [VGA](/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array "Video Graphics Array") monitors. A [Multisync monitor](/wiki/Multisync_monitor "Multisync monitor") is required for some higher resolutions. This connection can also be [genlocked](/wiki/Genlock "Genlock") to an external video signal. An [RF adapter](/wiki/RF_modulator "RF modulator") (A520\) was frequently bundled with the machine to provide output on regular televisions or on [composite](/wiki/Composite_video "Composite video") monitors. A digital 16 colour Red\-Green\-Blue\-Intensity signal is available too on the same connector.
* Monochrome video via an [RCA connector](/wiki/RCA_connector "RCA connector")
* [Zorro II](/wiki/Zorro_II "Zorro II") bus expansion on the left side behind a plastic cover
* Trapdoor slot under the machine, for RAM expansion and [real\-time clock](/wiki/Real-time_clock "Real-time clock")

Can an Amiga 500 drive a VGA monitor?
