        You know, I AM working on one! Right now, I'm just putting it on 
paper, getting ready to order the parts! Actually, the 8-bit parts. I'm 
going to start with the $40 PD hack 8-channel, 8-bit audio board, then 
work my way up to maybe a 4-channel 16 bit board. Does anyone know if the 
sorry, I mean, does anyone know how much the Amiga's parallel port is 
capable of handling? As in,  how many Kilo/Mega bytes per second? I migh 
have to restrict it to 4 channel 8 bit and 2 channel 16 bit if I go 
through the parallel port, and I want to; I donn't know ANYHTING about the 
Zorro II bus specs! SO, Could the Parallel port handle, say, 8 8-bit 
DAC's going at approk. 44kHz?? Or, the same number would be 4, 16 bit  
DAC's going at 44kHz? I don't think so, but I HOPE I am wrong; it would be 
very impressive. Bye!

P.s. This will be my very fist official "hack"! Hope it works!!!
