[Coco] Upgrade MPI?

[Christopher Barnett Fox]

What are the "symptoms" of a non-upgraded MPI? I have one connected to my
CoCo 3 today, and everything seems to work fine. Is there a specific
operation we could perform that would demonstrate the issue?

I recall someone on the list was working on a modern MPI replacement. Is
that project at the point where a kit or finished product is available to
purchase?

Thanks!
