2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues. 2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

The MULTIPAK is a peripheral that plugs into the slot of expansion of the Color Computer (cartridge port) and expands it to handle up to 4 cartridges interchangeable and can be used one at a time without having to put out one another, this exchange of the 4 slot can be done without shutting down the computer, but sometimes need to use the reset, you can even do some things with several at once

Exist the following models:

  • 26-3024 Grey
  • 26-3024 White
  • 26-3124 White
  • 26-3124A White

There are also custom made MULTIPAK and 8 Slot MULTIPAK


To use these MULTIPAK smoothly with Color Computer 3, use this:

26-3124 MPI CoCo 3 Upgrade #1 26-3124 MPI CoCo 3 Upgrade #2

26-3024 mpi coco 3 upgrade By Robin W. Drake

Besides the two that provides Cloud-9 hardware Upgrade PAL Multi-Pak, but you have to send the MULTIPAK.


The disk controller must be used in slot 4, and while you can use two disk controllers in the mpi problems exist
