[Coco] MPI help needed

[tonym]

That was my plan, but I wanted to verify it worked before I sent it to him.
I was going to ask him to do that MPI mod you mentioned, as the -3024 is just a PAL swap. I suck at cutting traces and stuff like that :)

Knowing Mark, he'd probably fix it, and not say anything, which isn't fair to him :)

I have a -3124 to send to him for the satellite board upgrade anyways, so it looks like they will keep each other company on the journey...

I wouldn't call it dead, but its acting like a logic failure in that area, 
and probably is going to need some poking into with a decent scope.  You 
could maybe kill 2 birds here by sending it to Mark, who could put the 
coco3 pal kit in it at the same time?
