There was also a sound card which was being designed by Jeremy Reeves (a
former Miracle Systems employee) about 4 or 5 years ago, which I think
never got past the paperware stage. It was to use the ROM socket too, I
think Jeremy has since left the QL scene though. I don't know if any
scematics or designs where ever released on it.

} I recall that a couple of years ago someone was working on a sound

A/D
} and D/A converter. I think it plugged into the ROM socket.

} Does anyone have any information about this?
Yes, I have information and also it!
It's the amadeus system.
The rom socket was used as the host for a network,
and then each hardware application get it's own module.
a host for PC was also available,
and you could even connect a QL to a PC via this network.
One of the module is a sound A/D & D/A. (mono) (amasound !)
It was provided with a micro and a speaker.
Sound format was highly compressed (about 4 bits per sample,
using a hard-coded proprietary algorithm).
I tried to find information to convert existing sound files into
this format, or even just to be able to perform some volume adjustment
on a recorded sound, and only end up with the conclusion that
unless being able to obtain the full math, it was impossible.
