[comp.sys.sgi] Audio board for IRIS 4D/60T

swenson@NUSC-WPN.ARPA ("V36B::MCNALLY") (04/19/89)

Hey IRIS folk,

	We are thinking of producing audio output from some signals that
we have generated.  Now, we could design a board that performed all of
the filtering, modulating, and d/a'ing or we could buy a MAC (well you
get the idea).  Now, in the before times, SGI supported an audio board.
Does SGI still support that audio board (oh, by the way I am using
a 4D/60T)?  If so, could you fill me in on cost? and some feature and
performance data?  

			Thanks,

I think the 60T has an IP4 cpu.  The IP4 has some sound capability built
on it.  All I know is that it exists, and that it has some strange connector
for the speaker.
