Yes, I understand the physical connection, that the cpu has two IRQ pins, one hooked up to the PIC, the other the NMI. I also considered sticking it in into the PIC, but didn't think you guys would be interested in a hack-esk implementation. The source for the interwave sbos version is even available, http://alsa.cybermirror.org/datasheets/gus/amd960214.tar.gz, yet I've managed to miss how they're invoking it(look at loader.c, setup_nmi(), test_nmi(), and search for nmi in general). I see them enabling NMIs, installing their test nmi handler for INT 2, but miss how they're triggering the NMI for their nmi count to increment. Interstingly enough, at one time the source for the original GUS/MAX was available but has unfortunately since gone MIA. In case you're wondering why bother, when it worked, SBOS would often sound better than OPL playback, ultrabots being an example; sounding cool instead of dinky.
