I just read the above-referenced FAQ, as you suggested.  All I can say 
is: wow!  The included sound chip is awesome. I can't wait to hear it 
(won't you all be glad when I get my monitor and keyboard so you won't 
have to see me whine any more?[G])!  If I find a need, I guess I'll pick 
up the SoundMeister.  That seems to be all I'd need, not being a 
musician.

Sounds pretty neat.  Unfortunately, the computer desk I purchased to 
house my IIgs has a clearance problem between the desk and the bottom of 
the hutch's top shelf.  I'm worried that the monitor won't even fit on 
top of the computer.  Once I get the monitor, I'll see if I can fit 
anything else in there...
