Thank you Steve Wozniak for making it so easy to build peripheral cards.

I spent a lot of time getting the thing to play J.S.Bach’s “Air on the G string”.
The data came from some software synthesizer, and my 6502 assembler program would digest it to program the various registers of the AY-3-8912.

Those were the good old days…

I myslef had C64, I even wrote a player for SID files in assembler. Computers were so simple back then.
