I've got Farallon's MacRecorder Driver installed on my vintage II
running 6.0.7, and the Gestalt "snd " selector still only returns a
value of 9. This indicates that the sound I/O manager is present and
that my hardware can do stereo output, but that there is *no* sound
input hardware present. My MacRecorder isn't connected (it's
sitting at home at the moment), but that shouldn't matter as long
as I'm not actually using the driver.

I seem to recall that the "sound input hardware present" bit
*was* set on an LC, but I'll have to go home and check.

Sounds like that bit doesn't quite mean what we thought it means...
