Expansion Unit Manual

The System 80 expansion unit came with it's own manual. The user manual for the X-4020 version (the second of the two expansion unit models) can be downloaded here.

While the manual was adequate for explaining the extra features provided by the expansion unit and the technical information associated with the extra hardware, it was a little short on the nuts and bolts of exactly how to plug everything together. New computer users were assisted greatly with this assembly guide.

I don't have the technical manual specifically for the X-4020 but Knut Roll-lund has kindly sent me the Video Genie Expander technical manual, which used to reside on his site. As far as I know, the only difference between the Video Genie Expander (EG 3014) and the X-4020 is the name! You can download that manual from here.
