I recommend that anyone thinking about constructing either of these monsters
acquire a copy of the Feb. 85 issue of Rainbow magazine.  It has a good
article on the operation of the Multipak.

I dislike the idea of a buffered cable somewhat more than I dislike the
Multipak, neither strikes me as very good.  I do have a Multipak though.
