[comp.sys.apple] Expansion Boxes

dtroup@carroll1.UUCP (David C. Troup - Skunk Works : 2600hz) (10/05/89)

	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...

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.

Always expect the least and you will never be disappointed.

It was made by "Mountain Computer, Inc." and was called the "Expansion
Chassis."
