[Coco] Multi-Pak 26-3124 Upgrade

[abqpenmaster]

A few years ago there was a guy with a website selling a "kit" for about $15 to upgrade the multipak.  It had a chip,  some wire,  and (I thought) some vague instructions. I ordered it and was going to do it but have lost the instructions, and since got an old Grey multi-pak.

</div>Thanks Barry.   I read somewhere there was a kit a while back that
consisted of a satellite board, 74LS10 and some other miscellaneous parts.
Unfortunately that site is no longer exists.  I already ordered a 74LS10
and will just piggyback onto another 74LS10 in the MPI.  I hate doing that
because its not clean, but I don't have a tiny perf board.  I am still
undecided whether to follow the method on CoCopedia or Marty Goodman's
method in the October 1991 (page 52) issue of Rainbow magazine.  They are
slightly different.
