  Don't forget that the portable uses the stereo chip as well. I wonder if
we'll see it in other (future?) non-68030/020 Macs as well. Maybe there is
something about running at 8MHz but i really doubt that would be a prob. My
best guess is that all the new Apple CPUs (excluding the low-end, likely)
will have it, since it improves greatly an area of Macing that Apple seems
to be pusing real hard now, Desktop Multi-Media... Anyone have gutty, low
end details on this chip? I know it offloads considerable processing that 
Mac SE and down struggle with.

"Followups to comp.sys.mac.hardware" seems to be in order here.

Have a nice day. :-|
