I'd probably prototype the OPL3 design using a hacked Sound Expander, but
in general the aim would be to make schematics and maybe even foil
patterns available so that people could build their own from scratch, thus
avoiding the problem of the SFX Sound Expander's rarity.

I shouldn't complain really - the pay isn't bad (for a summer student job)
and they are letting me design the reference board for an internal PCI
ADSL modem (!) .....

But hacking CBMs is infinitely more fun than any 'modern' computer
hardware could ever be :)
