Of course... hardware for 44.1 Khz support is built INTO the Mac IIx
and IIcx.  That's 8 bit though.  Still the 44.1 Khz rate is
incompatible with Farrallon.

Ah yes, Digidesign.  These are fully functional 44.1 Khz / 16-bit
systems that both sample and generate sound.  Option is available for
DAT interface too.  They are MUCH more capable and MUCH more expensive
than the little Apple ASC chip.
