<p>Most of the CPC sceners says he is a musician. But he is also learning to code and trying to graph, from time to time. He wears strange, colourful T-Shirts and likes making (non-working) electronics boards with little blue wires everywhere. Don't ever try to open one of his CPCs if you want to stay alive!</p>

<p>Willy connects to the expansion port using an adapter cable. On the computer side, you need either an HE-902 edge connector (for Amstrad CPC) or a Centronics connector (Amstrad Plus, Schneider CPC). On the other side, you need a female HE10 connector. Try to keep the cable as short as possible (no more than 20cm), else you can get into some problems with the system reliability.</p>

<p>Take the board with the connectors facing up, and the HE10 connector towards the computer expansion port. When holding the board this way, the connection cable is wired straight. Pin 1 is on the left, as indicated by the arrow on the board. Notice that the 50-pin HE10 connector is wired backwards (pin 1 should be on the right to match the standard), but this allows for easier connection with the CPC.</p>

<p>You can find various resources online about programming the OPL3. For example <ahref="http://www.shipbrook.net/jeff/sb.html">this one</a>, which has an example of registers to set to make a simple sound at the end.</p>

<p>The OPL3 is also register compatible with older chips like the OPL2 and the OPL1. However it is not register compatible with other Yamaha chips (OPLL, OPN, ...). Since the OPL3 is quite flexible, music written for other chips (AY3, SID, ...) can usually be converted in more or less automated way, which is a cheap way to adapt your existing music to this new soundchip. But of course, only original compositions will use the chip to its maximal capacities.</p>
