[Coco] MPI 2D rendering

[Bill Pierce]

Jim, it looks really good. simple and to the point.
I ave 2 questions...
1. What's the max length on the ribbon cable between the cart and the board?
2. Is there any particular reason for the wide spacng between cart slots? I would think slightly closer spcing would reduce board costs.

For those who care, I've sent the MPI design off for prototype 
manufacture. 
Here is a view of the unit in more natural
coloring:

  * Final boards will
be blue or black, as I'm not a fan of green, but
    green is cheapest for a
prototype.
  * Astute viewer will notice the larger board with the sockets is
  
"upside" down.  This is by design, as a stencil will need to be
    created, and
the front of the buffer board and the back of the main
    board have the
majority of the SMT items.  When the boards are
    separated, it won't make any
difference.
