Re: Carte Blanche Audio Capability

Hi Mike,

Yep. Its capable of several things simultaneously. It really depends
on the resources you have free and if the bus is available at the
time. (Id say a Z80 and sound would be fine) One of the great things
about the apple II is that a lot of the main board activity is able to
be duplicated on a single card as the addresses are presented to the
slots as well. Cb's capable of pretty much demultiplexing out the
apples entire address map on the card.

Experimenting with sound processors dosent use much of CB's existing
resources.
