SCRG made a box in the '80s called Switch-A-Slot that let you effectively switch between 4 cards in 1 slot.
I have run out of slots (and/or power) and desire one of these devices, but they are not easily found.
It surprises me no one has started making a clone if this, with all the new II...

That IIe has a CFFA3000 in it, as well as a VidHD (and, less notable, a Mockingboard clone). It's crazy what these machines can do today. Don't get me started on my IIgs or my Amigas in...

Love the IRC on vintage hardware thread, so I thought I'd start a thread regarding the use of vintage systems to dial or otherwise connect to (telnet, etc.) bulletin board systems.
