I took two digital photos of my NEC PC-8001 expansion chassis. My
previous description of the unit was incorrect. The disk drives are
housed in a totally separate chassis. The actual expansion chassis
contains a slotted backplane so that expansion cards may be added to the
PC-8001.
The first picture shows the dual disk drive cabinet atop the 8012A I/O
Unit.

The second picture shows the inside of the I/O expansion chassis (sorry
about the glare...this stupid camera doesn't have an option to turn off
the flash correctly, or stupid me forgot how to do it right). You can see
a RAM card plugged into the lower slot.

The I/O unit has an external connector that the PC-8001 plugs into. It
has a second connector that plugs into the disk drive unit.
