* Video Player
The video cartridges from Mattel contain a memory chip that has the video information AND proprietary video player software.  The [[JuiceBox]] itself only has enough intelligence to load the video player from the video cartridge.
* Video Monitor
While the Juicebox can play video from cartridges, the display itself is wholely a digital LCD driven directly by drivers on the CPU chip.  There is no point inside the box where there is anything resembling a normal video signal, so it is next to impossible to get the JB to display video from (for example) a camera.
* Serial Terminal
The [[JuiceBox]] does contain a serial port, but the normal juicebox software turns this off, so using the JB as a serial display involves running new software on it.
