Re: Mocking Board Problems with IIGS

["Bill Garber" <willy46pa@comcast.net>]

I have a Mockingboard that I tested in my IIgs Rom 01 and had no problems,
it ran thru all but the speech programs, only because the speech chips are
not there. I have been looking for them everywhere, and if anyone knows what
chips I can use in place of the SSI-263p's, please let me know. Thanks.
By the way, that Mockingboard is for sale on my site.
