Anyone know more about these?
Update:via umcorps in the comments: "This is a good source [new link here - not sure if it was the same content, so keeping original as well] for info about the Music 500 (which was my very first digital synth)"
and via David Anderson in the comments: Looking at the circuit board on Chris' site, it looks like the Music 500 box is a dedicated TTL digital synth. The two Advanced Micro Devices ICs are 2kx8 RAM chips. From the documentation, it looks like all those TTL devices make up the 'phase accumulator' digital oscillator described in this article"
