    OK, thought I was going crazy for a minute :)

    Like if you pop open a Beige G3 DT or MT, the sound chip (a Crystal
CS2411[?] I think) is on a daughtercard Apple calls the personality module.
Depending on the G3 config, you could have the sound card with just the
Crystal audio chip, "Comm slot" and the sound I/O ports, or it could be a
Video digitizer/TV tuner module (which I have not seen), or possibly others.
I'm wondering if there needs to be a bit set somewhere depending on what
card is installed in the machine.

    Well, food for thought.
