Other key parts include the 74HC14. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 4 resistors, 1 IC and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the wearables designs in this gallery.
From the project
Emulation of ISA sound cards and CD-ROM on Raspberry Pi Pico (GUS, SB/Adlib, MPU-401, Tandy, CMS, Panasonic CD-ROM) with USB mouse/joystick support
ISA sound card and CD-ROM drive emulation on the Raspberry Pi Pico's RP2040 microcontroller. PicoGUS can emulate:
Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) - the primary focus of PicoGUS, hence the name Sound Blaster 16 (OPL3) / Sound Blaster Pro 2 (OPL3) / AdLib (OPL2) MPU-401 (with intelligent mode) - outputs MIDI data on 3.5mm MIDI TRS connector Tandy 3-voice CMS/Game Blaster Game port joystick * Panasonic/MKE CD-ROM
