What is it?

This is a SN76489-based sound card for the RC2014. It is a very simple chip, only capable of producing square waves and a noise channel, without any envelope control or filters. This chip was used in the TI-99/4A, ColecoVision, Sega SG-1000, Sega Master System, and Sega Genesis, IBM PCjr and Tandy-compatibles, BBC Micro, as well as many arcade games.

Why did you make it?

I put together this kit based on J.B. Langston's design (and with his blessing) because I wanted to make this card more accessible to those not willing or able to source the parts themselves.

What makes it special?

Get that true retro-vibe by using authentic retro sound generators in your RC2014.

This kit includes everything you need to contract the stereo sound version of the board.

Fast shipping

Fast shipping and as described. Only hint I would offer is insert the left sound chip first. One of the pins broke on one of mine (an issue with the IC and me, not the kit), but left is used for mono output which is most likely to be used anyway. I had a spare and am in business.
