Jim, I understand that the decode logic in place in some of the older Multipaks will work if you stuff your disk controller into slot 1 of the pak.. Good Luck! Oh and YES... I have seen (and installed) the upgrade for the older multipaks. Note that there are THREE multipak types: 1) Old Grey 2) Old White (same as old gray) and 3) New White. The last one requires a satellite board, while the 1st two require only a $7.50 PAL chip.
