I have been lately been wondering how the STe has stereo. Could some kind soul please mail me some specifics. (Even just let me know if it is the same way the Tweety upgrade works.) I am also interested in knowing if I did upgrade the color palette of my Mega, could I shove in the STe's TOS, assuming that Tweety is the same type of sound upgrade the STe uses, would I have a STe , but without the extra joystick ports? Along these lines, I have misplaced my Color palette upgrade docs and was hoping someone could send me the schematics. I was also wondering about the Tweety upgrade. Has someone made up docs to do a equivalent job, or should I just order Tweety mail order? Also, I was wondering just what programs make use of the Tweety board?

You are probably going to get swamped with people saying that the Tweety board and the STe's new digital stereo sound chip are COMPLETELY different. This is because it's true. The Tweety board just outputs each of the standard Yamaha sound chip's three channels to three different RCA jacks. It is amusing, and makes some things sound nicer, but a friend of mine who has/had it, didn't find it all that impressive. I HAVE heard that the color palette upgrade that was available before the STe's (well at least in the US) is compatible with the extended palette in the STe. Don't even let the idea of putting TOS 1.6 into your MEGA enter your mind... It's not going to happen. AAron "has only opinions" nAAs
