Old macs are cheap - you can get a Mac IIci for around $100, which should
be adequate for the kind of work you'd need to do.  Add a jaz drive or
better yet, a decent size external hard disk, and then all you'd need
would be a CD burner.

I would gladly make a small run of CD's with my burner and test with my
IIgs multimedia system (Apple CDSC, 5 megs ram and two hard disks, 230mb
and 350mb, Second Sight is in the mail, so says Sequential)

I'm located in the NYC area.

For what its worth, I don't think its worthwhile to even bother with MP3's
and CDR's on a IIgs.  Instead of putting time into a project thats simply
going to end up showing how slow and crummy the IIgs is, lets pour our
energies into projects that show how wonderful they are.
