   The other day I was in a local computer store and they had an Amiga 3000.
 Well the guy using it double clicked on a file and about 5 minutes of
 a digitized orcastra piece came from the speakers.  We looked at the file
 and it was over 2 megs long.  Anyway, it accomplished this by reading from
 the drive (harddrive) while playing the sound at the same time.  What I
 want to know is if this is possible on the GS?  Say I load up the DOC and
 play the 64k, can the next 64k be loaded in in time to play continuously?
   Im not a programer so this is all hope and speculation.  Any comments or
 ideas?
