The 2 serial ports look identical on the IIc; one is pictured with a 
phone (line 2) and the other with a printer and page (line 1). Both take 5 
pin din plugs.  A IIc+ used the 8 pin mini din of the GS line.  The disk 
port is for external drive use; 5.25" (in the first IIc), 3.5" and hard 
drives (the second one on).
