I played around with that a bit at one point, started out using the 
much better audio facilities of a TI-99/4a, but the coco just didn't 
have the audio system to make "pleasurable" sounds when I parked the 
4a in the basement.  FWIW its still there!  The deciding factor for 
me was that the coco was actually a lot more versatile than the 4a.  
And a lot cheaper to expand too.
