[ other stuff deleted ] I read in the Apple IIGS hardware reference manual that it is possible to get up to 15 voices on eight channels if someone would make the circuit. Also, there was a schematic of a little circuit that would give you two channels. It looks pretty simple... a decoder (demulitplexer??) and two other chips (I think they were simple gates). Unfortunately, I know very little about computer electronics and have no idea on what to do with these +5v and ground an all that stuff. Otherwise, I would probably make one myself. > >Larry >-- > >Larry Cline >lcline@sequent.sequent.com >lcline@crg8.sequent.com > >".sig!
