Hello. I am seeking/Looking for a Cardco Cardboard 6, 6 Port "ribbon cabled" expander for the VIC-20. I have other VIC-20 port expanders, but I want this one because I always had one as a kid, so wanting one is pure nostalgia here.
If you have one to part with or sell, Shoot me an e-mail at: nefaurora@aol.com. and I'll buy it from you.
Much Thanks!, Tony K

As I remember Jim made 100 of these, but noticed the dip-switches were to close to the cartridge slots, so you could not plug in a standard cartrdige fully. You can still buy this for $22 a piece and I got one some years ago:
I've got a couple of Cardboard 3 expanders (just picked up a second one off Ebay), so I'm good.. but I generally always will buy something new to preserve the old.
I have a HESware expander and didn't know about its idiosyncrasies until I read about them on Denial. Glad I didn't screw up any of my carts; if it had blown my MegaCart or Penultimate using that thing I'd have been wrecked.
