It is more than real! here, one thing to say... the GS DOES stereo, shame on Apple that did not build the stereo line to the headphone jack. Don't believe me? After reading the GS hardware ref, my friend built his own stereo card by using 3 transistors and one audio amplifier. The stereo hard ware is IN the GS, but all you need are 3 transistors to correctly send the sound to different channel, that's it! -- cyliao@wam.umd.edu o NeXT : I put main frame power on two chips. @epsl.umd.edu o people: We put main flame power on two guys. @bagend.eng.umd.edu o :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx (reserved) o RC + Apple // + Classic Music + NeXT = cyliao
