    When the IIgs was first released, a number of users did not like
having system BEEP and other 'old Apple' sounds separated from the output
of their stereo boards. After all, they were going to the trouble and
expense of running the two-channel outputs to an external amp and
speakers. They wanted 'big sound' for II+ and IIe beeps, games and music
wares, too, without the bother of more cables and having to switch a
selector. Perhaps, the the mini-board is some kind of mixer.
