    The status is unsupported in macppc, as well it should be seeing that
the ASC is in 68k Macs only :-)

    I *think* Awacs is the sound chip in everything Beige G3 and earlier
back to PowerMac 9500 possibly. As for the other two chips (yes three
different audio chips), I imagine one is for PowerBook/iBook, and there may
be a different one for non-OF PPC systems (not likely).
    In any case, Awacs would be a good place to start looking. While we're
on the subject, is someone working on swim3? I thought I heard that a while
ago.
