Hi Matthew

while the Excel did have modular capability no modules were ever released for
it.instead they chose to release the Mach II ,III AND IV in rapid succesion
rather then tinker around with any one model
indeed both the Excel 68k and the Mach II were both released in the same
year(1987)

i have a sneaky suspicion the 64 Great Games module(Model number CG64)would work
with the Excel 68k but i am too afraid to try it

the CG64 module does work with all 11 versions of the Elite A/G
and is the only module that does
