I got it today. It was shipped Wed via FedX for exactly the price
they quoted me.  Installed without any problems, works great! Output
right now is a pair of small AIWA box speakers using the SB's
amp. Might be interesting to try it with my Hi-Fi someday.  I've
tried the FM organ, the parrot, the frogs, Dr. Sbaito and the songs.
They all work fine.

Has anyone tried their add on sw, like "Musician"? It goes for $79.99
and is supposed to be out "Aug 90".

In summary, I highly recommend this toy as a birthday or Christmas
type of present. :-)
