So how do you get the Apple-1 to play Twinkle Twinkle though the ACI....

Hook up a +40-60db microphone pre-amp to your stereo (If your TV you are using as a monitor has a good amp built in you may hear something on max volume) or use a bass guitar or PA amp like I am, though I tested my DYNEX 15" TV on max volume and can hear it.

Then type in the following program....

Oh and if all you need to do is make a beep like the "BELL" on an Apple II, simply reuse the header code in the ACI ROM, but change it's duration to really really short.

This simple preamp I built some time ago will provide line level compatible output, if connected to the cassette output.

Also note that any single bit apple II sound programs should be easily ported to the apple 1.

Yep any Apple II sound program just needs the "Speaker" address changed from $C030 to $C000, and maybe a little timing tweak if you mind it being a little off key.

The big part of the discovery was even thinking to use the cassette output as a "sound card".

Mike, I thank you for the inspiration to add sound to one of my Apple II to Apple I code conversions and my own laziness for not wanting to build a sound card.

Cheers,
Corey
