these are the pin connections i've deduced based on the rest of the board design. this chip seems to take over the Apple II's address lines and it copies sound samples over to the four DACs on the card. almost like a DMA controller. hmmmmmmmmmmm. 🤔

i've got it! it perfectly matches the pinout of the MC6844 DMA controller! mystery solved.

@tubetime you’ve heard of an op amp but what about a pop amp???

got some parts in from China, but I need to test them to see if they actually work. they've been painted and remarked (of course 😑)

the ADC was tricky to test. one of them was bad and had some stuck outputs.

I wonder if it'll work? I'll have to fire up the Apple II to find out.

@tubetime I like the “Apple II goes here” silkscreen.

@tubetime "Apple II goes here" ok, now I know you made it... I can guess its a super-rare IIe card that nobody has seen the likes of since the day after it came out...

@tubetime :-) Amazing. Before buying are you able to simulate the board, and is that useful?

@benjohn there aren't any models of the larger chips. it's easier to just make the board and try it out irl!
