• The counter #0 counts input pulse of 1.1 MHz,
divided
by the predetermined rate (musical score
data)
to generate sound. lt is connected with the
mixing audio amplifier through AUDIO-IN of the
sound
IC (76489AN).
This counter
output is gated by PC of the 8255 port C,
and the counter gate is controlled by 001 of $E008.
The counter #0 output is also used for interrupt
control INTO and connected to A4 of the Z-80A PlO
port A.
• The counter #1 counts pulse of 15.6 kHz and gener-
ated a pulse on OUT1 at every second. The counter
#2 counts pulses and makes OUT2 turned high.
OUT2 outputs becomes TNT via the gate and is
connected
to INT of the CPU.
7 Printer interface
The
Z-80A PlO is used for the printer interface. lt has a
pair
of 8-bit 1/0 ports.
