I have get reciently pruchased the SwiftLink232 cartridge with cable.  I have 
not yet installed it into my system because I have a few questions about it
frist, primarly, can I use it in conjunction with other cardridge devices
at the same time?

I have  C128 computer, and I would like to know if I can put the Swithlink
in there along with an REU at the same time?  The way I plan to do this is to
take a 44 pin ribbon cable (4 inches in lenght) and snap on two 44 pin
edge connectors onto it, and fit the REU and the Swithlink cartridges onto
the cable at the same time.  I presume that the Swithlink is switchable I/O
page mapping so as not to cause conflicts witht the REU.

Can anyone tell me if the REU is switchable, or does it even take up I/O
page space at all?    

Also, If Kent Slulivan should be reading this message, please e-mail me
reguarding the procedures I need to take as a programmer to get my hand on  
some tehcnical information used to try to get my BBS software to take
advantage of this fine device.

Thanks much people.
