I am trying to decide between the IIsi and IIci for my new Mac. Here are what I see as the pros and cons" IIsi) Built-in sound input Seems to have been tested well for compatability But...only one slot, slightly slower, no FPU IIci) Fast Expandable FPU But...no sound input, and compatability problems (or have those been fixed up)??? If anyone has any advice, please send me email as soon as possible. THanks. schoen2@husc9.harvard.edu

I am under the impression that, using System 6.0.7 and the latest drivers from Farallon, I can use my MacRecorder with my SE/30 in the same way as one can use the bundled mic with the IIsi.

Am I deluded? I just saw a presentation by Apple about the new machines where the same question came up. The official word was that all of the machines will be able to use the Sound routines - sound will be treated the same way across the Macintosh line. The only difference is that the "old" machines do not have built-in hardware to handle the sound input. This hardware is available for as little as $50 from some third-party sources. >chaz >Jury Acquit Notorious Axe Murderer From Outer Space. >clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone -- Draphsor vo'drun-Aelf draphsor@portia.stanford.edu

You'd actually have 17meg, but the OS would only see 8 of them. chaz -- Belgian AI Experts resurrect Elvis. -- National Enquirer Photo Exclusive. clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu AOL:Crowbone

The drivers you speak of were released on the 15th as well I believe*.
