Doesn't sound possible, after the way Apple nuked Franklin.  Surely
Apple itself isn't going to put out //e cards for PClones!

The other day, I saw a PS/2 showing off its sound stuff at a fair.
There was a keyboard attached (apparently through MIDI or something),
two external speakers, a huge application to control the hardware, &
some datafiles somebody had worked hard on; and, for all that, it couldn't
play as well as most Macs have always been able.  It's just silly.
