My orignal comment was based on the assumption that the CB can only
perform one function at a time - but this may not be correct? If you
can do more than one operation at once, it would be a neat application
for it (and I withdraw my original comment!). So I guess I'm asking,
is it possible for the CB to be a stereo card and something else (e.g.
a Z80 board) at the same time?
That was what i was assuming that it could be doing two things (as the
GS stereo surely wouldnt tax it) :-). I have that TDX card on my list
of things to do (I should say attempt to do...)...but the list of
things i want to play with keeps getting longer lol.

I know the feeling all too well. I have an Apple II "ideas" (or future
projects) folder setup on my main desktop computer. It keeps growing
without me making much headway into any of the ideas...  ;-)

I seem to start on something and either get too busy, or another "idea"
takes my attention away. Then the vicious cycle starts again; ad
infinitum.... lol

This seems to be a common trait among hobbyists.

I will know doubt "hassle" you when i come to do the stereo card ;-).
What stops me so far is getting the board...Shame i can't get a pre-
fabricated board that i can then connect up with the components. I
know there is a Prototype board that ReactiveMicro sells, but that
seems over kill.

I used an "experimenters board" like this one:
http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=HP9552&CATID=32&form=CAT&SUBCATID=255

I then screwed the completed TDX board onto an old ISA card that had 6 pins cut away (to make it fit the Apple II slot) and all the components removed. You only need the +5V, and -5V from the Apple II slot. Alternatively, you could mount the TDX board somewhere else (i.e. not in a slot) if you so desired.
