The Peripheral Expansion Box (aka P-Box or PEB) is a stable, silver/gray plastic and die-cast metal box containing eight slots for peripheral expansion cards and a compartment for a floppy drive or two drives of half height ("slim-line", slim as understood in the 70ies and 80ies; today it is the normal height of 5,25" drives for PCs).

The PEB offers space for 8 expansion cards. All slots are wired in parallel, and the power supply is designed to supply all cards including up to two floppy drives. Floppy drives may be put into the right compartment of the box.

This is a picture of the PEB, with a 3,5" floppy drive in a 5,25" mounting adapter, and to the right a 5,25" floppy drive.
