As I've mentioned in past posts... I'm thrilled with the sound produced my 
old 50CT fed into an old top end automotive Sony cassette/receiver and 
Carver 60WRMS amp in my truck.  When I put on head phones and play soft 
music, I can hear the low signal to noise ratio of the sound chip start 
brewing a storm.

It's a OPL-3 Yamaha as far as I can remember, but where info??

I could swear I just got this link to Xin's page from this list a few months 
back.  It covers adding a mono mic and stereo line-in.  Though the latter 
wasn't clear enough for me to figure out.  Xin says the capability is there 
in the OPL-3, but that Toshiba, "was too lazy to set it up."  Being able to 
record into a digital sound format on the Libby would bee great.
