There is an alternative, if Darren decided to pursue some form of PSG 
support then those who didn't want it or wish to wait for it could order the 
'as is' model. And those who are prepared to wait could. Of course it would 
depend on numbers, whether it would be worthwhile doing two batches, maybe 
it would be majority rules, I dunno ;) Maybe someone who already owns one 
will sell you theirs and be happy to wait for the new model?? Could be 
win-win.

But some may be annoyed to buy the product only to find out later there's a 
slight enhancement of which they would have been more than happy to wait 
for.

I too am working on a game and mine uses the SSC in direct mode. While I've 
considered alternatives for those who don't own an SSC or prefer to use 
emulators, for those who don't own a SSC or can't find one to buy, (not to 
mention the hassle of having to upgrade it to run at 1.78 MHz, I really 
don't want to tear up my pristine label but will have to) it would be a 
great addition IMHO.

There are those who would like it and those who have no interest use for it 
whatsoever.

I guess it's up to Darren.

Just adding to the list of supporters for added sound capability. If we 
don't speak up, we may never get it :)
