minisound GS is a 16.5 mm x 82 mm daughterboard which plugs directly
into the sound port on the Apple IIGS motherboard. A jumper cable brings
12V power from the fan connector to the board. A daisy header on the
board allows power to continue to a fan if needed. A headphone jack at
the rear of the board provides the stereo output.

minisound GS replaces the functionality of a stereo sound card, except
it isn't a card, it is a board and therefore saves a slot. In addition, because it is local to the sound socket, it eliminates crosstalk and resistance a cable would produce, resulting in a cleaner signal. It
only produces line level stereo sound output and does not have the power
to directly amplify an 8 Ohm speaker.

So somebody finally got one? I emailed him on the 12th of May, just a day after you dod and haven't heard or gotten anything from him. I was starting to wonder if it was vaporware. Should I email him again? Would that do any good?I got an email from him on May 13th, wrote back on May 14th that I want
one. Then I emailed him again on June 8th, but no reply (and no card) yet.
Maybe further emails will finally move him to act (or talk) :-)
It would be a pity if this card just disappeared.

Update: I'm definitely keeping the board, so I sent a USD $25 Paypal donation on 22-Jul. Last communication from Steven to me was on 11-Jul, to ask how my testing was going. I've written to him 3 times since that date - firstly apologising for nothaving tested yet, then asking for help when my computer could not access the installation web page, thirdly to say that I found the instructions, installed the board, tried it with earbuds but need to test more back at home through powered speakers.

Andrew, you were in touch with Steven to request some boards for the Ozzies, any success or progress?
Steven, if you're reading this, a message from you in this forum would be appreciated, to let interested folks know what to expect.

I'm running the game 'Silpheed' which I've read provides a good test
sample of stereo music.
Comparing the minisound GS to the built-in mono headphone jack, my
impression was that the music sounded a bit more brassy / treble via the minisound.
I also could hear a quiet high-pitched whine when there was no sound
being generated, which I could not hear via the mono jack.
I need to link up a pair of decent speakers when I get home from
Kansasfest in a few days, before I form my final impression.
[...] TheMinisoundGS is working very well, however I do hear a slight hiss in the
left channel. [...]
