Hi, my collection of cartidges has now exceeded the two slots in my MSX...
I know slotexpanders are hard to get nowadays, but if anyone is willing
to sell one, I'd be very interested.

I'm afraid that the one that I was auctioning finished yesterday. But good luck finding one!

Yes, I know. But it'll go to the Netherlands anyway

hmm, it seems there's no great supply of leftover slotexpanders

I'm now considering buying the Leonardo Padial one.
Anyone have experience with these slotexpanders?
I believe I read somewhere that you have to open up your cartridges to fit them in the expander?

Looks like it indeed... He could have cut those connectors (if possible of course), because this is not too practical:

(*) Bajo pedido se suministra con los conectores de solo 8 bits, para uso sin quitar las carcasas de los cartuchos.

He means that when buying, you need to decide what kind of connectors want to be mounted, standard 8 bits or expanded ones. Of course, the expanded connectors are only useful for avant-garde developers...
