Interesting. I'm not sure if this is related, but if anyone remembers this,
Music Construction Set was able to play music out through the cassette port
instead of the speaker. So that way, you could connect your Apple to a
stereo. I wonder if any one here actually tried that. I can't imagine that
it sounded very nice. The IBM version of MCS could do this, also.
