- Note 1. Power and ground is supplied from the floppy drive power
- connection. Purchase a floppy drive power "Y" connector.
- Cut off connector on one leg of the "Y" and insulate the
- yellow/black pair (+12/gnd). Use the red/black pair for
- +5/ground.
-
- Note 2. The volume control can be located on the back of your computer
- instead of the breadboard if you think you may want to make a
- lot of adjustments. Remove one of the blank card end supports
- from an unused slot and drill it out to receive an appropriate
- 10k volume control. Run three leads from the volume control to
- the speaker/amp breadboard.
-
- Note 3. Most components can be purchased at Radio Shack or other
- electronics jobber. All parts cost me less than $15.
-
- Mount all components to an approx. 3"x5" breadboard. Trim one end
- of breadboard to fit into one of the short sockets of 16 bit buss.
- This supports the board only - there are no connections to the socket.
- Observe polarity of all capacitors. Also, I suggest you use a
- IC socket and make all connections before plugging in the 386 audio
- amplifier. After all components have been mounted on the board insure
- that the power has been turned off and the power cord has been unplugged
- from the computer. Remove top and bottom covers. Insert the speaker/amp
- board into the 16 bit buss socket. Remove the disk drive power
- connector from the power supply and add your "Y" connector. Plug the
- disk drive power connector into the "Y". Run the two wires for the
- speaker connection thru one of the holes between the chassis and the
- buss board/motherboard and connect to the speaker. Observe polarity
- when attaching leads to speaker. Terminal 1 of the speaker should be
- connected to the input of the 386 audio amplifier (thru the 1µf
- capacitor, the 10k volume control to term 2 of the IC).
- Replace bottom cover, set the computer rightside up and boot. Run
- something that will generate some sound and adjust the volume. Replace
- the cover and enjoy.
-
- Yes, these instructions are very abbreviated. You should have
- some experience before you attempt this. Look the job over very
- carefully. Check the motherboard speaker connections, power
- connections, etc. before you start. You assume all risks for anything
- you construct and install. This modificaton may void any warranty you
- may still have on your computer. If you are not familiar with simple
- construction and soldering techniques get someone who is to help you.
- Good Luck.
