I said speaker or speakers up there. Since the CD audio goes through the
audio circuitry, it mixes in with any other audio and goes out whatever
kinda speakers you have. Obviously you use externals so you have stereo.

: A two channel mixer can be found cheaply at Radio Shack.

: ROM and the IIGS to the AppleDesign's two input channels.

Don't have any, and don't use the IIgs to play audio. It's far too easy
to play audio on a Mac with an internal CD.
