    My Toshiba Tecra 8100 has a composite video output port on the right side near the back. It has only the center hole for the small pin of the cable terminal. There is plastic blocking the brass ring from gripping anything. Why would Tosiba do this? The User Guide says this is the place to connect to a television for use with Powerpoint. Is there an adapter so that another output port can be used for this purpose?
