PC+AY

┌─────────────────── Hello, ─────────────────────────────── ────>
└────────────────────── dear All! ────────────────────>

But I had an idea. I don’t know if it’s new among you all, but
maybe someone might be interested in it.
Has anyone tried to connect the hardware of the AY-8910/12 to an IBM? Maybe this is somehow real? Maybe it’s worth coming up with such a device, like adliba only on AY?
Or attach it to the LPT/COM/GAME;) port... I think, since it’s so difficult
to emulate it perfectly on SB, then native sounds will sound more pleasant...
Who here can come up with this? I'll be honest, I can't do much;(
Except to draw a diagram of the AY suspension on the Z80;) You may remember that at the Mitinsky
market there were... three types...: AY; AY+HCH; AY+HF+Kempston.. But that's not the point...

This is quite real. For AY to function, 2 control signals and 8 data lines are required. All this can be found on LPT. There's only one thing you won't find there - a 1.75 megahertz frequency generator. You'll have to make your own generator.
But two logical chips that decode the port address will become unnecessary.
