I have a question for you. In the November 89 Rainbow Marty Goodman did an
article on the *CART interrupt. He mentions your name. Well I did the fix on my
machine, and a friend of mine would like me to do a hack on his machine.

The only snag is that he still uses ROM packs with his MPI. So what I was
wondering, is...

Could I just solder the Schottky diode on R2, run the wire over to a jack
installed in the Coco's case. Solder a wire on pin 8 of slot 1 of the MPI, put
a plug on it and plug them togeather?

That way it shouldn't interfear with the other slots, you have a direct IRQ
line, and if you need to remove the MPI you just unplug. Also if you change
RS232 packs, you don't have to break into the new one for your patch.

Will it work?
