[Coco] 8 slot MPI pld jed files

[camillus]

Well, to inform you of my idea's to integrate rompacks into my system.
What I have in mind is a eprom bank that can hold 16 packs of which one of course will be selectable, that is why I need a 8 slot MPI. The standard hookup on a coco seems the real floppy controller and/or the SDController ( virtual floppy ), a HD controller ( ide/scsi ). this would take three of the 4 slots already. Many people though ave need for more slots, rs232, composer, etc ,etc. What I want to try is that 4 slots for the standard devices, are inside the case , and 2 or 4 slots are accessible for expansion, either future hardware or packs. The packs expansion slot would then be a rom based pack, with a digital selection ( maybe with lcd screen ( if budget permittes ) to scroll to list and select ). 

Hope to have this ready at the new coco fest, then I can show my case. The one's who want the build the same can do it too.
