Retains the original POKEY while adding FPGA stereo POKEYs, Covox channels, digital mixing, and a high-rate stereo DAC.

The product exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. It requires a working original POKEY and can be installed in stages: basic stereo output, a second POKEY through an A4 connection, Covox through D6xx or D7xx decoding, and full internal-audio mixing. The approximately 1 mm PCB intentionally leaves pin 31 unconnected; verify that it remains isolated from the motherboard. Only the basic stage uses a single address jumper, while the expanded functions require additional signal and audio wiring.

Adds an SIO-connected General MIDI file synthesizer with external stereo output and Atari audio mixing.

The product exposed a login-or-register-to-buy path on 2026-07-27. It is a MIDI-file synthesizer, not the MyTek MIDI input/output interface already in the catalog. The public page and human review provide no written player-software, file-workflow, or model-specific SIO-audio instructions. Treat the external stereo output as the documented playback path and confirm software availability before purchase.
