BTW, this was the last (most recent) listing for ZXpand+ systems... They sell out faster than hot cakes... Mark Thanks for the heads up. I've requested that I be notified when he has new stock. :) If you need a storage solution, and cannot wait for the next batch of ZXpand+s, there's a new cheap st...
