cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, CD/floppy disk theory of operation, and the 68k CPU are also on-topic.

<Lord_Nightmare> fseidel: it definitely does do this. I believe nukeykt found this, and plgdavid verified it
<Lord_Nightmare> it ONLY works in the debug mode.
<Lord_Nightmare> also, the drum channel is trying to play, even on the vrc7, but the drum dac output doesn't connect anywhere.
<Lord_Nightmare> its not connected to a pin, the trace just ends
<Lord_Nightmare> the vrc7 die and the ym2413 die are about 85% the same, vrc7 just has a big extra block for the mapper circuitry (and presumably for the test mode stuff)
<ZrX_NoMs> Anyone ever seen 28-pin hard drive interface?
<ZrX_NoMs> Custom ST-506

<andlabs> then the wikipedia blurb should have a citation
<tunixman> ooooh the st-506!
<ZrX_NoMs> After probing the connector there are 8 inputs and 7 outputs. Connected to two custom Fujitsu ICs with 0 information online.
<tunixman> "...$4,308 in today's dollars..."
<tunixman> Basical $1k/MB.
<andlabs> is tis drive from an IBM PS/2 by any chance
<andlabs> that's the only computer I can think of that uses a nonstandard HDD connector
<ZrX_NoMs> No idea where it came from.
<tunixman> I think the ST506 was one of the OG PC drives wasn't it? https://infogalactic.com/info/ST-506
<NiGHTS> ST-506 - Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
<ZrX_NoMs> Fujitsu M2227D2 - All images online show a model with a standard interface. PCB has mostly the same components.
