Well, you could probably (with no Appletalk) use a second IIgs to hold
a sound card (a IIgs sound card, not like a Phasor, Mockingboard,
etc.), if you ran the necessary wires over to it (not too hard).

Or, if your cards weren't too speed-hungry, you could make a slot
extender, and have your slots on the outside of your IIgs for easy
switching.
