[Coco] tandy 512k board and the triad board & MPI test

[Mark Marlette]

I'll add to what Stephen has said.

Heat is the destruction of most electronic devices, Triad uses 1/20th the power that DRAM boards use in the CoCo. Technology gives us this.

Think of it like a car and MPG....The CoCo is doing the same work at 1/20th of the effort. The CoCo's transformer, +5v regulator/pass transistor and SALT chip thank you for the reduced load.

Good reason, less heat means less energy used, save the Earth.

26-3024 Multi-Pak upgrade test is on Cloud9's Multi-Pak PAL Upgrade page:

But the test may apply to both 26-3024 and the 26-3124 MPI.

With such a small market, unlikely but I am not a gamer.
