[ARC5] ARC-5 Audio Comparison, Stock vs. "CQ-VooDoo"

[Clare Owens]

I just paged through my copy of the Q Command Sets publication and I
couldn't find any mention of adding an outboard audio stage.  I did find,
on page 23, the fateful words"The first step is to strip the chassis" in
the article on War Surplus for Civil Defense.  I had to go wash my hands
with Holy Water after touching that page :-)
