diy GM synth

[Paul Eccles]

If anyone is interested in building an external interface board for a DB50XG
(so you can take it out of your PC) I can e-mail you the Protel 98 schematic
and PCB files for one I built recently. It's similar to the Elektor project
but I didn't include the audio power amps or the PCB mounted transformer.

There are a couple of minor errors in the PCB I found after building the
thing, but I can include a list of what these were.

Paul.
