I stumbled on this earlier while chasing c64 stuff down and hadn't seen this commercial before, i guess it was one of the few schools to get Amiga's way back when:

A good find! Why wasn't this rolled out to more schools? Acorn and RM seemed to have education all sewn up in the UK :-(

hey guys, take a look at this video again and check the A2500 at 1:23 .... is it my imagination or does the power led/etc have some kind of card slots and or a jack for? audio? not like there was SD cards then?
its a odd looking thing.

Those are sliding potmeters, probably volume control. I have worked in education with student labs, it was not uncommon back in those days to modify computers to have headphone output in front, sometimes even with a little amp inside.
