In general, you have to use the slot name with a hyphen (like -ioport) and the slot option value following after a space. Thus, to plug in the HFDC into slot 8 of the PEB, use
mame ti99_4a -ioport peb -ioport:peb:slot8 hfdc
Note that some slot options may be preselected. You can check the current slot configuration in the OSD menu during runtime.
