Hmmm.  In my excitement, I overlooked the fact that "network

"Crate" isn't as straightforward as I assumed.


But there is loads of ROM space set aside for the IIgs. It is available through the Memory expansion slot. Speaking of memory expansion, wouldn't that help a bit along with all those audio oscillators??

There's plenty of main board ROM space, but it would require me
to figure out how to get it to run my code.  ;-)

Cards in slots are a serious impediment to stacking boards close
together, but a ROM3 would provide *plenty* of memory.

But since a IIgs already *has* a polyphonic bank of digital
oscillators, using DAC522 to generate sound seems a little
superflouous.  ;-)
