[Coco] Multipak troubleshooting (or It's Dead, Jim! :-)

[Luis Fernández]

I recently bought this multipack for $ 58 plus shipping
This brand new, never been used
every two months appears someone on ebay, not many, but with patience you can

> I have been dusting off the old equipment and I may have (advertantly?  is that a word?) killed the poor old Multi-pak :-(

> I know it did work as I put a cart in and it booted the cart...the fail occurred when I plugged in an old Disto SCII into slot 4, no puff of smoke or anything, just a plain old boot as if nothing had been selected.  However, I then tried slot 1 again with the same working game cart and nothing, bupkis, just a boot into Extended Color Basic.
