Sigh. That machine you are talking about is the Apple IIgs, which is NOT a Macintosh. At the time of its release and for about 3 years afterwards, its sound abilities were unparalleled in the computing field. Its Ensoniq chip was capable of synthesizing fifteen simultaneous musical voices, and it had a separate 64K block of RAM memory dedicated specifically for that purpose. (quoted from the Apple II History). Remember, this was before sampled sound and MP3s. ;-) These little things are important to us former Apple II-ers. -Warr -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
