[Coco] An 8-Slot Multi-Pak Design for my Color Computer

[Brian]

Maybe it's just me, but, I could easily use more than 4 slots.  
Currently, I've got my MPI loaded with a serial pack, sd drive pack,  
hdb-dos pack and a floppy controller.

I still have an O90, S/S cart, The Voice and various ROM packs.  
Granted, not all have to be used at once, but, I think a unit that  
offers more than 4 slots would come in handy considering the new pack  
based hardware that's been developed.
