Couldn't the ROM just have an extra card like a ZIP Chip or Transwarp in a
slot or something?

As far as Stereo, the IIgs has LEFT & RIGHT speakers.  Yes, a built-in
Audio input and output would be nice, for home Stereo's and for digitizing.
But, by having third-party companies make them, it leaves more for
compatibility.  If you buy a Sonic Blaster from AE, you get software for
THAT and it uses ALL it's features.  If apple made one, software companies
may not be as good..
