My reason for asking is that this is supposedly the same chip that's in the Ensoniq Mirage I Syntheziser that's been out for some time now. Maybe its just that Ensoniq won't give Apple as many chips as they want, but it sounds fishy that a chip currently in some kind of full production would be the delaying factor over something just being ramped up for production. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Haynie {caip,ihnp4,allegra,seismo}!cbmvax!daveh "Laws to supress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
