Yeah.  I gave the sales people a demo :-) Guy says "I saw the other
sales guy do it this morning".  10 minutes of fiddling, loading
Hypercard, accidental reboot, (me saying in the background "Excuse me,
why don't you try the Control Panel"), more messing, (me saying "Under
the Apple menu" "How do you spell Apple?").  Thank God he finally went
away.  30 seconds later I was getting excellent quality sound playback
from the Sound CDEV.  Sounded like CD quality.  Up to 10 seconds
recording on the si I used.  Is this a memory-size based or a hard
limit??

I showed the guy how to demo it.
