I thought Amiga had the best sound, even though the new Atari STe has an even better sound chip than in the Amiga. (This I read in a review) I have heard the Roland MT-32, and to say the least, it was incredible! The problem still with a GS is that its too slow. (I know, you can get Transwarp, or ZipGS, but you can't rely on someone having it.) I've used a GS a lot, but what is the standard speed of one? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryan 'Gozar' Collins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o__)\ rlcollins@miavx1.BITNET / ) RC1DSANU@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu / / ____ R.COLLINS1 (On GEnie) /(____/__(_) o)_/ /) [ || ] Atari Computers, "There is no Substitute."
