Re: Mockingboard in 128EX?

["Great Hierophant" <great_hierophant@hotmail.com>]

Would it be possible to use two Mockingboard Cs in an Apple IIc so we
could enjoy 12 AY-3-8910 voices?  Apple IIc do have two serial ports,
but it seems that the software prefers to use simulated slot 5 while
seemingly dedicating simulated slot 4 to a mouse.  Perhaps there is
another available simulated slot available?  If you can, simply set
games that allow you to set the slots to the simulated slots and the
rest use the MCONFIG.SYSTEM program to redesignate the slot.
