Wrong. I did  four tracks playback and two tracks recording on a standard
4000/40 using the terribly slow onboard ide controller with Studio 16 
and 64k buffers for each channel. This was full 16 bit 44khz quality.
The Zorro II bus has no problem with handling 8 channel playback and
2 channel recording.
