This product has 17 sound effects. Two sound effects have not been included because of memory limitations. They might be included later during the 'ENHANCE CODE' period. The byte count for the driver and sound tables is 2660, 612 bytes over the projected count. Although Landon is in agreement that this will not impact his overall byte count, I have allotted several additional hours under 'ENHANCE CODE' to compress additional code if the need arises.

Tan and Dave C. are the programmers. They both have several other duties in addition to writing the IDS to SUPERMAN. Their anticipated completion of the IDS is sometime next week. Until I'm able to meet with them, sound development for this project will be at a standstill. Star Trux 4P2125 Star Trux has been completed. E.T. 4P2159 Still anticipating enhancements. A/D converter driver Waiting for converter from hardware. Additional SOUND LAB wiring. I will complete the patch-bay wiring as soon as I have a block of time to finish the project. GENERAL I would still like to meet with all involved to get the SOUND EFFECTS DATA BASE up on the DG. I have received a memo from R&D about their sound chip development. I have distributed this memo to 3 project leaders in HCD hardware so they will be aware of R&D's attempts.
