That the one with the switches should allow selection of which cartridge
to use, but it is not clear to me how the Cardboard/3 is supposed to work.
There must be some real voodoo needed to get some sets of carts to work
togther.
Do you have any information about the Cardboard/3?
Thanks,

nice machine, given its limitations. I forgot to
mention that the box
also had two "motherboards". These plug into the cartridge slot and
have 3 cartridge connectors which allow multiple carts to be plugged in
at the same time. Pretty cool stuff.
It sounds like you're referring to the Cardco 'Cardboard/3s' expansion
interface. Does it have a reset button and a bank of seven switches on
it? I have one, in the box with the manual. It also has CB/3S along
the outermost edge on the bottom side of the circuit card. Nifty little
gadget, as it would even allow me to use the 'Programmers Aid Cartridge'
with the 16k memory expansion.
