One would think there would be.  After all, the IIGS' sound
chip is light years ahead of the original 4-voice FM synthesis
SoundBlaster for the PC.  Sadly, I have come to realize that
the PCT is not a IIGS card but an Apple II card that happens
to work in a IIGS.  AE never developed a native IIGS PCT
operating system so the IIGS side is not powered up.  The
PCT operating system instead runs under the 8-bit IIe
emulation mode.

Gameport driver sounds possible since the IIe uses the
same port.  Didn't AE provide a joystick driver?
