Nope. They go to a "feature connector" on the card. The signals brought to that connector are all video ones, so it's my impression that the IBM folks intended it either for mushing up into composite video or more likely for various sorts of signal mixing with other video signals such as those from an optical video disk. Never seen anything that actually attaches to the connector, though. -- John R.
