Hello again, Three questions, one hardware, two software: 1) Is there any reason I shouldn't buy a SuperSonic stereo adapter for my GS if all I want is stereo (and possibly mono digitization later)? Can anyone recommend a particularly inexpensive source for this board? What is a good price? 2) I was fairly good at writing assembly language hacks for older Apple //s under DOS 3.3. I wrote a terminal emulator and lots of graphic screen hacks. I would like to write some small programs for the //GS probably under Prodos 8. (assuming this is easier than Prodos 16) I want them to be SYS type files that quit using the prodos 8 or 16 quit code. I know how to create a SYS type file, I know it has to start at $2000, but I don't know how to politely quit back to the calling OS. If there is a standard and fairly straightforward way to do this, could someone please post an assembly language (commented please!) segment that does this? 3) I have lots of programs that are Binary files. I cannot seem to launch them from the GS Finder. Is there a way to do so? What is the best way you have found for launching binary programs. (Should I just write a basic program for each that BRUN's it?) Thank you for your help. Seymour Joseph

The stereo card is okay, but 1-channel digitizing is a hassle if you really want stereo, because of the unavoidable phase shift that accrues. >3) I have lots of programs that are Binary files.

I think if you set up an ICON definition that feeds binary files to BASIC as the associated "application", then double-clicking a binary file icon will cause it to be executed. (However, I'm not sure...)
