[net.micro.mac] Mac+

I recently had my 128K Mac upgraded to a Mac+, and I've noted a few problems.
If anyone at Apple is listening, it would be nice to see:

    1.  A new programmer's switch that fits the Mac+ as well as the current
        one fits a standard Mac.

    2.  New versions of Daleks and Mazewars that run on a Mac+ as well as a
        standard Mac (I haven't tried to run Mazewars on a Mac+, as my Mac+
        isn't hooked to Appletalk, but other posts have claimed it does not
        work properly).

    3.  Fixes to the bugs in the Mac+ sound driver, either in the form of new
        PTCH resources or in the form of a (free) ROM upgrade (depending upon
        how much code is needed to fix its problems).

I can't let this go by.  The MacPlus sound runs fine with MacNifty
SoundCap(ture), with MacNifty Studio Session, with my own, simple
programmer's music editor, and with Deluxe Music Construction Set.
No _properly written_ sound program fails on the MacPlus.
