There was a video/audio board called Petunia, by HUH Electronics. It connected to the cassette (for power) and user ports. I have the video only version, that is, they did not put the audio components on the board. I don't know what they were because the board is not marked, but there is only room for 2 16 pin ICs. Assuming these were output drivers for the sound, it would have required software to program the 6522 parellel port in order to produce sound. wlevak@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2009-12-29 07:00:04
