FW: mp3 on IPX (was [SunRescue] BSD Questions)

[MikeHebeldruaga at pmail.net]

Probably a good plan.
(Some of my inner geek still wants to use the IPX thing though. ;-)  I
_KNOW_ I've seen SBUS audio cards out there. )

What's the difference between the LX and the Classic in terms of sound?

Also, I ran across this:

I didn't even know these existed?  Has anybody worked with these?

I know the SS4's had a sound module, but I think that was specific to that
model only. I don't recall ever hearing about an SBus sound card.

I'd agree with Martin- it would be better to put your effort into an LX than
try to squeeze blood out of an (IPC/IPX) turnip.

I've never heard of an SBus sound card, and it's sure to be more
expensive than an LX, which comes with a much faster CPU and
16-bit stereo PCM audio... It'll even take the IPX RAM as long
as it's 60ns and you have matched pairs.

I've seen LX bases as low as $55.
