Some examples of "nonflexibly-attached expansions" I can think of, though not arbitrarily expandable like the TI-99/4A:

* Sega Genesis (CD, 32X, Modem, Sonic & Knuckles, Game Genie, Power Base Converter -- most of which could be attached at once [1], and a few games even required both the CD and 32X)

* Nintendo GameCube (the Game Boy Player attached to the bottom) [2]

* Epson HX-20 laptop (various expansion units could attach to the side, though only one at a time) [3]

Fun, thanks! Those examples reminded me of the amazing PowerBook Duo and DuoDock combo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_Duo#Duo_Dock_(M7779)...
