[sdiy] My New Project - PCSYNTH

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I'm trying to do this with the lowest end hardware around. 
Literally junk, in my case, a Am-5x86/133 (which is really an
enhanced 486).  I'm also trying to do this without buying
*anything* because of my abject poverty.  I also want to stay
away from a Windows operating system.  I've been thinking
about doing this for some years, it is now time to try it. 
If it doesn't work, well then I'll try something else, but I
believe I can do this, even with slow I/O.

I would never assume that.  I just really don't like
programming in a Windows environment.  I've done it, I don't
like it.

Doing this the way I'm doing it makes it all mine.  The only
tools I will use are an assembler and a soldering iron to
build the DAC interface.

And thanks for this, I will keep this information handy as an
alternative in case this fails.
