[Blindapple] TexTalker GS bootup wav file

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

Unfortunately the GS emulation still has some problems in MAME. 
Accessing 5.25 inch disks is extremely slow. One reason is that if I 
recall correctly, MAME isn't slowing the processor down to 1 MHZ while 
accessing 5.25 disks like the real hardware does, and that's doubtless 
messing things up. Also, the fast system speed is a bit faster than it 
is on real hardware. Don't know if they fixed the Control Panel, but the 
realtime clock always defaults at power-up to midnight on January 1, 
1904, the earliest time possible.
