The altair thing was via radio, but also there were
not less that a dozen
different sound and music boards for altairs/s100 systems. Some I might add
were very good. At least one used the pinte line (shows the internal state
of the 8080 processor interrupt enable flag).
Yep. That was the Processor Technology "Music System". I still have the
board and software in my collection. Really do need to get a picture of
the board onto the web pages. (all three resistors and two capacitors of
it!)
The software also appeared (briefly) as the infamous "Volume 39" of the
CP/M User's Group library. (before P.T. started threatening everyone
involved over copyright infringements and such)
