[sdiy] Identification of an unknown MIDI CV interface

[Mike Bryant]

Maybe the original design on the etched PCB was a general purpose MIDI board (hence the matching firmware) and provided an 8 bit GPIO port, but disobeyed the rules and omitted the opto-isolator, so whoever used it added that as well as the DAC they needed for this design on the perfboard.

The etched PCB looks like a general purpose board. The MIDI stuff and the DAC are on the perf board.

That's what I was thinking too, but what is interesting is that the logo on the EPROM matches the one on the board.

So Hardware and Firmware seem to be from the same origin.

But the rest seems very bespoke and has a high home brew appeal.  This doesn't quite fit to me, because who

ever wrote the firmware would know what hardware to drive.





Best,

 René
