Does anyone remember the slot expansion boxes for Apple II's? They were around a while back (like 4 years ago), and they're made by some company "mountain -------" or something like that. Basicly, it was a box that would expand your ports OUTSIDE of your machine, and also give you a couple more slots to work with. Im interested in scrounging a few of these up, so if anyone has a couple in the back room (If you have a computer store), I'll gladly take them off of your hands! Or if you can steer me towards a dealer of OLD Apple equipment..please reply. (if the know the REAL NAME and MANUFACTURER...set me straight on that too.) Thanks in advance... -- "We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, knowin' that ain't allowed"__ _______ _______________ |David C.

Network Comment: to #800 by swrinde!cs.utexas.edu!uwm.edu!marque!carroll1!dtroup@ucsd.edu I know what you are talking about with the Mountain thing. What it does is it lets you have 3-5 or whatever peripherals connected to 1 slot. Of course, there is an external switch to select with peripheral you want to use for the time being. I not sure about this, but I think on some there are serial AND paralell ports on the back. I'd have to dig out the Nibble Magazine, but I don't think they are that old. The Dougger says... Always expect the least and you will never be disappointed.
