Definitely, though none made it out of the prototype stage or developers'
circles. There is a photo floating around of one Apple prototype which had
line in/out, mic, 2 serial ports and AC. Don Vollum of Pelicanware also
confirmed that he has one with two serial connectors (received it as part
of the developers' program).

Newton used to be important and I guess Apple wanted to be
forward-thinking. The specs are there (as are the basic components).
Several people have made their own audio dongles.
