I'm sure Pacific Peripherals makes a fine product, but as I understand
it their system only has two or three slots, while these would certainly
accept Commodore's A2000 peripherals in general, I don't believe they
included an IBM PC bus in there.  The BusExpander from Bill's Boards
does have this capability, and I posted an article on it because of
some oddities that occurred when it was being Beta tested.
