Anybody have/seen one of these Laser 128 expansion boxes?  Were they
commonly available? (Anybody have one they're not using? :-)

Do I take it I can just stick a card into the connector on the side?
If so, what slot does it map to?

There are two on the bottom of the unit (under the little metal plate):
	Slot 5 Internal/External
