One would still need an input device & an output device to meet the definition.
Those are provided by the wealth of I/O ports supported by the board.
Do tell use what input and output devices were found on ENIAC?
Would you consider the venerable IBM 370 a "general purpose computer"? If so, tell us what input and output devices were standard with it? I'm not talking about external 3780 boards used to communicate with the block mode terminals. Nor or any specific output devices. At the expense of confusing the issue with facts, they were numerous.
