Yes, the Mac Portable, Mac SE/30, and all the Mac II machines use the ASC (Apple Sound Chip) and two Sony sound chips (analog/amplifiers). >Anyone have gutty, low >end details on this chip? I know it offloads considerable processing that >Mac SE and down struggle with. For more detailed info on the sound circuitry, check out the "Macintosh Family Hardware Reference" published by Adison-Wesley. If you want to program with sound, though, I'd suggest getting a hold of the soundmanager documentation. It's available for anonymous ftp on apple.com, in the directory pub/dts/mac/docs/soundmgr.hqx. While you're there, you might want to get tech note 168 (on playing sounds in hypercard) in pub/dts/mac/tn/tn.151.200/tn-168.hqx. noah ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ noah@apple.com Mac IIci Hardware Design Team ...!{sun,decwrl}!apple!noah Apple Computer, Inc.
