Manufacturer Phoenix Electronics, USA | Date 1989 | Amiga A1000, A500 | Interface side expansion port |
- Zorro II expansion chassis
- two Zorro II slots
- connects to the side expansion port, has passthrough connector
- unbuffered design, supports only one DMA device
- lack of buffering means that configuring information must pass from one card to the next:
- a jumper allows use of the second slot if the first is unoccupied
- another jumper lets using peripherals connected to the passthrough connector in case both slots are empty
- optional internal power supply with power connector for a hard disk drive
- does not supply -12V to the Zorro slots
- no power switch
- variations
- Expansion Technologies has sold it under the name ToolBox, but only Phoenix has manufacured it
- the only difference is the logo on the chassis
