     It all has begun long time ago, when Chuck Steinman of DataQue created this set of plans for building stereo sound by installing a second Pokey chip inside the best 8-bit computer ever. Once installed, the second channel has all its addresses 16 bytes set higher in the memory ($D210 - $D21F). Since then, dozens of sounds and demos that support this upgrade have been published. Most of these programs were made in Poland, but a few sound-demos were also made in other countries. The most popular programs (in my opinion, of course) playing msx in stereo are Yooomp! and Numen.

  • Desolder POKEY from ATARI board or remove it from socket
  • Insert stereo pcb into the socket or solder into atari motherboard
  • Make connections to STEREO BOARD:
    • A4 – this signal can be found in many places on ATARI BOARD; for example solder wire between CPU  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6502) pin 13 and STEREO BOARD A4 pad
    • BELL – this signal can be found on GTIA CHIP pin 15. Please solder wire between pin 15 of GTIA ( code name CO -14889) and Stereo BELL PAD
