Bill:

    Is it possible that this MultiPak was not modified to work with
CoCo3s?? I bought one years ago that worked fine unmodified with my
first CoCo3, but, needed the mod to work with the second CoCo3 I bought.
Others have said that without the mod sometimes they work with a CoCo3
and sometimes not.

    Testing for the mod has been discussed on the list before. Can you
give us the model # of the MPI?? (There were 2 models with different
mods for CoCo3s.)
