I made the unwelcome discovery that booster and L88 use same plug port on the CS3+. Can I still connect the L88 somehow or do I use only S88s (connected at bottom)?

Hi Ben
You need to expand the bus, using a 60145 "Terminal"
Basically it is a black box whose cable connects into the only available plug on the CS3 (for Link88, for Booster and many other things
The bow contains FOUR plugs to connect as an example 1 LinkS88 and 3 Boosters

You may also want to see this in Märklin documentation of the 60145

In lemmon language, it is sort of a multiple outlet strip for Märklin digital bus

Cheers
Jean

Darn, ever more parts. I was tempted to get more s88s that work on the cs3+ bottom connect, but decided on 60145 splitter to keep powered l88 as feedback hub. Btw, the added booster resolved power spikes that occasionally crashed cs3 power supply, and improves activation pulse for vintage solenoid signals and switches. Rocrail is not impacted by added booster.
