That is a SS5 in a SS1 case?  SS5s usually had 16bit sound to my
understanding, but I suppose things could be different here.  I don't
really know how well it would work on such a machine.  In theory any
SS5 would be more than enough for some meaty near-realtime audio work,
but I'm not highly confident that it can totally pull it off.
