How to play 60kHz samples on an unmodified Commodore PET, poorly
In whch yr hmbl svt indulges in some retrocomputing and attempts to make a 1980s Commodore PET 4032 play high bit-rate sound samples through its internal speaker... poorly. This is a video of an exploratory ramble through the extremely underpowered PET sound system to see if I can play PCM sound on it. The results are just as laughable as you'd imagine, although it did actually work! Note: my voice sounds funny because I'm recovering from a cold. Maybe I should make a video of myself coughing into a microphone so you know what you're missing. Source code: https://gist.github.com/davidgiven/e4...
