Peripherals can be attached to the computer directly, on one side. There are
six sides on basic computers: front, back, left, right,
top and bottom. For other devices, it’s basically a derivation of this:
Pocket computers can only have one peripheral (usually a wireless modem), which will be considered as equipped at the back.
Turtles can have up to two peripherals, on the left and on the right. They can equip and unequip a peripheral (or a tool) without any player help if necessary. Tools are not considered as peripherals.
These devices and calls are available in the CraftOS API through the peripheral API. Note however that the default API accessible to any program also checks for devices on the ComputerCraft wired bus; the native interface needs to be used for effective isolation.
