Just received a new copy of SuperTetris and discovered it has a
"head-to-head" mode of play over Appleshare or via modem.  I am running the
game primarily on my new IIvx.  I have experienced no problems in the single
play mode.  I thought I give the "head-to-head" mode a try with my SE before
I sell it.  

The setup is not exactly user friendly, but it does work.  My problem is the
sounds on the IIvx seem to get interrupted when playing in this mode.  The
result is the music sounds scratchy or has dropouts.  The SE does not have
any sound problems in "head-to-head" or single play modes. The IIvx is
running 7.1 and the SE 6.0.7.

Anyone out there with any ideas what might be going on?  It seems like the
Appleshare hardware/software is taking away processing time form the sound
system.  I would think the faster IIvx would have no problem with this.
Maybe the SE is so slow the network stuff doersn't interfere with the sounds.

I guess it also could be a design flaw in the IIvx.  I have seen some stuff
about sound and midi problems.  Maybe this is related.  It also may be a
problem with the way SuperTetris handles the sound and network software.

P.S. - My original copy of Tetris had problems playing sounds on the IIvx
also.  It was a similar situation with the sound having dropouts.  I seem to
recall that when I turned off all inits etc. the problem went away, but I am
not sure.  I haven't tried turning off all inits on the IIvx to see if the
"head-to-head" sound dropouts go away.
