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.
