   It would be weird to get a Model 4 with disk drives but no serial port.   
   Yours seems to have everything except perhaps the Hi-Res graphics card.   
      
   Yes, that is the standard Radio Shack RS232 connector - before IBM screwed   
   up the standards. You also look to have the external disk connector and the   
   parallel printer port.
