Idea for a custom old school soundboard

Post by stefano »

I understand the eighties market was mostly represented by the ym chip.
Then even better hardware was introduced, so perhaps it's not surprising that other traditional electronics tricks were limited for door bell circuits etc.
In some limited case in the earlier computers something was done, especially where the cpu timing was not constant (like the zx81 which had the SLOW circuitry in the way).

The Octavia board is one of the few examples. I noticed that we now have new IC components permitting even simpler schematics ;)
