 Yes, its very easy to play loooooong samples on the
Apple IIgs, and do it "on the fly from a disk" if
the drive used is fast enough (ie, a ramfast card
would really help).  You can even do it off a 3.5"
floppy drive using compression.  
 
That is a interesting idea for someone to pursue -
write a digitizer that will write to a drive as its
going.  That way you can digitize *LARGE* samples.
Right now samplings are done into RAM, so you haveta
digitize 4 megs, pause your CD player, save to disk,
digitizer another 4, pause, digitize, etc.  Its not
too hard to put them together however.
