Last week, I finally received the slot expansion I ordered in the last week of october. (The postal strike and slow postal service are Christmas traditions in Brazil). There are two cards I need to order and I'll be using from my original apple][+ - Saturn 128k Ram and Softcard (CP/M Z80).

This is how it looks using the first version of my backplane. (I decided to rotate the connector on the first rev.)

Meu primeiro teste foi tentar rodar o CP/M no meu apple][+ clone. Para isto, é necessário utilizar as duas placas (saturn 128k e Softcard/Z80):

...and now I can enjoy games that request 64kb or more like "Where in world is Carmen Sandiego?"

For this last picture I assembled another backplane (rev.4). The expansion was designed to be connected behind the backplane.
