Sorry, wrong again. The RasterOps QuikPak is a daughterboard for the 24STV, i.e.
there is not a version of the 24STV with "the chip" on it. I don't know what
the technology is, I just know it isn't. I mean, it doesn't exist. RasterOps
has been promising to ship this product for, oh, a couple of years now. When
you call, they say "it'll be out in about four months, for sure". Four months
later they say the same thing. I just called them a minute ago; they said
"oh, sometime in the fall".

There is a version of the 24STV which does audio sampling called "MediaTime".
I believe the sampler is compatible with DigiDesigns AudioMedia board, and
it is CD quality, with analog i/o.
