- It's a total fabrication. Alice only addresses 2MB of Chip RAM. End of story.

- Everything that's integral to the A4000 is on the A4000. If Alice could
- address 4MB of Chip RAM, the A4000 would support it. It doesn't, so it doesn't.
- Enhanced sound probably has something to do with the "DSP" that was mentioned
- by Jim Dionne and Lew -- typically, for high performance sound processing,
- you need a sound processor.
