It has two ports, doesn't it? 

The large one can be used with Gamesharks, Pro Action Replay, and some kinds of modchips.  You can do dev stuff through it too, I think (I've heard of modified Action Replay bios's that let you write directly to RAM...very cool stuff). 

The smaller port I only know to be used by the serial link cable (the cable I have is called the "combat cable").  Some games support some mode of dual-console play (Armored Core, and I think one of the Bushido Blade games).  I think this was sort of an early feature that never really caught on.  They may be other uses, too, but I dunno.
