A project log for Project 72 - Korg DW-6000 wave memory expansion

An attempt to reverse engineer and modify Korg DW-6000s firmware in order to expand its wave memory.

I've added another feature to my emulator: now I can watch port B's upper half and the latch signal on port C. It looks like everything's fine, I couldn't reproduce the glitch I saw on the real hardware. But from the other hand, I'm emulating an isolated portion of the original hardware, so your mileage may vary. I suspect, that the bank change routine may be sensitive to interrupts, so once I get my 2864s, I'll try to disable interrupts before executing it.

Other than that, I've assembled a memory adapter on a veroboard, but didn't have a chance to test it yet. I don't know if driving address lines connected in parallel it's something HC374 can do without hiccups, we'll see. First I need to prepare waveform banks, I will probably use Isa's wonderful piece of software for that purpose.
