Has anybody (even at Atari) thought about how hard (or easy) it would be to add a second Yamaha sound chip to an ST (perhaps externally, via the cartridge port with a few additional address wires) to give 6 voices and the possibility of stereo? What little fooling around with music I have done suggests that three voices is just not enough for serious work and 4 is just barely enough. But 6 would be very useable. -John Sangster jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
