The other question was having to do with the startup sound. I know that the WAVE format is what is needed to play a song, but, I am having no luck making this happen. I put a Wave formatted short 400k song on my CF card (i used cider-press and added the file to my volume) and when I tried to select it, it would not show up in gs/os. Any suggestions?? I know that I was able to do it another time in the past with another wav file I xfered over 11 years ago, but i just can't remember what I did back then to make it work.
I believe that GSOS wants sounds in a format other than .wav files. One format that it uses is simple 8-bit PCM with no header (so you could strip the .wav header from an 8-bit PCM file). Sample rate was often 11.025kHz. Many sounds were embedded in the resource fork of applications, about which I know practically nothing (except how to extract them to use them with SOUND.EDITOR under ProDOS). -michael NadaNet networking for Apple II computers!
