I found a 6 pin splitter mail order at:

http://www.pcpartscollection.com/rjphlisp1m2f.html

I have another question too...how tough would it be to build a "splitter" 
for ADAM's side expansion port? Someone actually made these at one time 
because I had one, but I got rid of it way back when I sold my original ADAM 
around 1986 or so. I believe the one I had split it into three.
