Re: FAQ- Apple II Sound & Music Capabilities

[Edhel Iaur <drsmooth@baldcom.net>]

Of course, you could add the other Apple //s (they're the same, soundwise, 
pretty much), although it IS kinda hard... 

Computer/card     Voices   Bits   Stereo
----------------------------------------
Apple // family     1*       1*     No*

*With clever programming, more than 1 voice can be emulated

*By "yanking" the speaker back before it has had a chance to get fully out, 
approximately 5 or 6 bits can be emulated

*The //e and ][+ have cassette ports, which can be connected to speakers, 
amplifiers, etc., and said cassette ports are programmed EXACTLY the same way 
as the internal speaker
