@TotO would it be possible for you to make a "just CPC" version of the mother 4 x that has a soldered connector instead of a ribbon cable and would therefore act as a riser board on the just CPC boards allowing the normal m4x cards to be installed horizontally in a stacked formation above the ram?
If so I'll have one please to go with my just CPC 128k.

Sadly, if you do that you should lose the internal MX4 connectors.
I have all the required things for... But, I imagine Piotr too.

Lose? Surelynif you plugged this into the 'front' slot on the just CPC, then the rear 1 (or 2) will still be available plus the 4 on the riser card, meaning either 5 or 6 in total. Or am I missing something that would disable all further expansions once the m4x would be attached?

The only interrest to plug them horizontaly is to save space by including the expansions "inside".
If you keep them "outside", better to left vertically.

Inside is exactly what I want. ;)

Well the point is... I want to ensure that expansions that won't be removed internally. So... Xmem, xmass, play city and minibooster will all be internal.
The mf2 on the expansion port.

Hence wanting a riser. I guess I can get a normal mother 4 x and mod it myself, but I was hoping not to have to.

@Piotr: Sorry for bothering you but do you do 64kb version with 3x expansion slots? As that answer would strongly influence my buying preferences? Thanks!
