I'm still looking at the MP3 option, although the chip
I was pointed to only does MPEG 2.5.
I'm intrigued by the thought of a combo MP3 decoder/stereo sound card
for the IIgs. I have always been interested in adding stereo
capability to my IIgs, but I'd definitely hold out getting such a
device if I knew a card capable of MP3 playback was on the way.
On a sound card note, do you know if there will be a clone available of
the Mockingboard revision that worked on a //c? I'd be interested in
getting something like that for my //c+. I only ask because you
mentioned Mockingboard clones will be out soon. Though I acknowledge
this is a remote possibility. :)

I was just under the impression from what I've read that
the HFS partitions break down, and you can't run programs
from them.

Really? That's great then. Good Luck.
Well, it's true that ProDOS 8 programs won't run from an HFS partition.
You simply get an error message instructing you to move the program to
a ProDOS partition to run if you try to launch one from the Finder. It
won't crash your system or anything. But I've found most of the ProDOS
8 programs that won't run from HFS won't run from a hard drive to begin
with anyway, HFS or not. ProDOS 16 / GS/OS programs run flawlessly.
As for breakdown, I haven't had any yet. But I'm curious about this.
Does anyone have more information on this? What kind of breakdown? And
what initiates it? Has anyone experienced this firsthand?
