Had something come "built in", there might have been more support for it from the community and it would have been more widely used by software.  Although I suspect there would have been pushback from the gamers and more of the "code for the lowest common denominator" that the Amiga community was so well known for.  Why write a program that requires great hardware, when they can code it to run "okay" on an A500 and sell 10x as many copies?  :rolleyes:

As for the hypothetical "how might it have sounded", try to get your hands on one of the C= soundcards and figure out how to get it working, might be good for a base comparison of what C= was going for back in the day?  ;)

Wow, some good new notes in there.  The binder was funny.  Thanks!
