Just to refocus the discussion ...

This is about adding *Expansion Potential* to the CoCoSDC.

Sound is just one of the many examples but it's about EXPANSION.

This is not a redesign or the adding of any extra circuitry to the 
CoCoSDC. It's about adding a simple expansion header *if* it is at all 
possible with very little distruption to the existing design. A case of 
bringing out some of the CoCo Bus signals to a connector to allow people 
the possible future provision to design/connect additional hardware in a 
tidy, professional and self contained add-on for those who don't have, 
don't like or have no room for a multipak interface.

The sound, RS-232, USB, ethernet, zero gravity or time displacement 
options could be added later.
