During the development of Digidream 2, we found some "strange" issues with the AY-3-8913 soundchip.

@french_touch @fenarinarsa You wondered about the AY's /RESET being connected to a diode. This stops the 6522 from resetting the entire computer when it resets the AY.

@xot @french_touch XD okay thanks I wondered why there wasn’t a diode on every implementation like the Z80 based computers don’t have it.

@french_touch @fenarinarsa you happen to know how this YM vs AY detection works?

@gunstick @french_touch This article explains the software method. Basically you write a register with unused bits and read it back.
