Depends how you qualify "best"...

The "easy" way is to buy a replacement PAL/GAL chip and just remove the old one
and pop in the new one.

The "cheap" way is to solder in a 74LSxx (I forget the exact chip, even though
I have done this mod myself) and a few small bits of wire. 

With moderate soldering skills and costing under $1, I consider #2 the best
method. Someone less technically inclined might prefer the replacement chip as
the best method. Either method yields the same result... a working MPI for your
CoCo3.

cheers,
Bob
