I wanted one of the Chit-Chat Piper (?) MCA sound

$200 IIRC. Have yet to see one offered on EPay. I thought I had read on
the PS/2 newsgroup that they had gone out of production. They are now
offering them for $129 which isn't a bad price but as the usual frugal
collector I find it hard to justify when I can buy a whole non-MCA
machine including sound card and CDRom for that price. Maybe I could
trade one of my 8580s for one. :^) Shipping might be a bit pricey tho.
Likely about 10 times the cost in your local thrift.
Back before the economy started to suck, I bought five of them @$129.
They introduced at $439. They also work on RS/6000's.

a 16-bit
sound card with 32-voice MIDI for MCA brand new for a
reasonable price.
