Subject: Has AppleSoundChip?  Gestalt?  How?

How does one determine if te AppleSoundChip is present?  I got my hands on the
new Interface files for THINK Pascal (GestaltEqu most notably) and tried to
blindly call Gestalt('hdwr',theResponse).

LINK_ERROR - Gestalt not implemented {or some such}

So, how does one use Gestalt with THINK Pascal 3.0?  Or how can one determine
if the ASC is present without a call to Gestalt?  (And, related, like calling
WNEvent, do you need to check for a TrapAvail before even considering a call to
Gestalt?)

BTW, I have System 6.07 on an si.  (I would think Gestalt would be in 6.07!?)
Also, I'm not an APDA developer, so references to APDA-eyes-only docs are in
vain.
