How do you use a multi-slot expander (motherboard)?

Looking for VIC-20 Temple of Apshai (EPYX)

Hi, I have the tape, but would like an original box and manual for this EPYX game for the VIC-20 (to complete my VIC-20 EPYX collection). Will also buy or trade for the above.

Hi, it's me here, Brent. I just found this site and am enjoying it. Well...I've had to put that project on hold due to a number of things that came up in life. My wife and I had a kid about two years ago, and it's important to spend time with one's child and not lock oneself away in the computer roo...
