Maybe a buffer cartridge with a ribbon cable to a seperate box placed 
back a bit from the CoCo to eliminate the "flux-capacitor" monstrosity 
glued to the side of the CoCo  (the Tandy Multipac with an assortment of 
varying size cartridges and cables standing up in the air looking like a 
science project experiment).

The "new" multi-pac design then wouldn't need the buffering and can 
house the power supply while the CoCo keeps it's sexy slim lines.
