- I have a 128 with a three cartridge expander in the cartridge port. When I
- have one cart plugged into the expander, the system runs fine. When I try
- to use two or more carts, the system almost always crashes, especially at the
- boot-up sequence. I'm wondering if the 128's power supply is to blame (maybe
- there's not enough power to supply two cartridges?) . The expander only allows
- you to use one cart at a time. Also, it is not recommended for use with RAM
- expanders like GEORAM and the 1750 Clone.
-
- I would like my computer to be able to run with three carts plugged in. Help!
-
- [Speaking of cartridge expanders, why are some of them not recommended for use
- with RAM expanders?]
