@jwt27 thanks for the idea, it sure looks easier and cheaper with a LM7905 , IIRC you've told me this before but I totally forgot about it... noise is a huge issue IMHO when you deal with sound stuff... it's that schematic from the datasheet, right? http://i62.tinypic.com/24xdq81.jpg @boxpressed …

Provide me the materials (batteries and old carts, I already have suitable screwdrivers) and I'll replace them for you if you can't do it yourselves (for free ofcourse , assuming paying for shipping is not a problem for you guys)

What is that last picture? a pico-psu installed inside an A1200 I thought it was an sound amplifier. What is it used for? it's a mini psu that gets powered from an external 12v brick (like the laptop ones) , gets plugged directly in the ATX socket and it can be used in special setups, mostly mITX …

Update on the dead mpu card: it works fine now! Luckily the culprit was the Z8 mcu, the old one was dead and after replacing the card started working again :D http://i.imgur.com/054Iadcm.jpg I have left it playing the music from Tyrian with a SC-55 (jukebox function in the setup program) for testing …
