Who does not remember the Premier Publication Software and Hardware projects like the AY-3-8910 Soundboard.
In combination with Basic4/5/X ROMs, the Soundboard could be programmed directly in Basic.
Now the AY-3-8910 is emulated beside an SN76489AN PSG that was used in many other computers of that era.
Both PSG's have been widely used and if you want to give them a try, attached my refreshed WinOsi emulator.
If you start the Emulator, for all UK101 configurations, the AY-3-8910 is active, for all the others the SN76489AN.
Check out the VGM_AY3-8910.prg demo, that plays VGM formatted sound files.
If you change the configuration to standard Superboard, you can try out VGM_SN76489.prg for the other sound chip.
When changing configuration to Basic-X, the AY-3-8910 is present. Remember under Basic 5, you have to go to the Monitor and do 9800G and Basic X will become active.
Here you have new Basic commands to directly control the PSG. There is a manual for the Sound commands.
BASX_Sound_Demo.prg will load demo basic program for testing the AY3-8910.
As usual, check out the Emulator page https://storage.googleapis.com/constant ... tei13.html
If you have any Basic-X programs, using the Sound generator, please let me know.
Cheers Thomas
