AY-3-8910 and the Replica 1

Hello,

I'm trying to design a sound card for the Replica 1 extension bus. Could some kind soul tell me how the AY-3-8910 can be interfaced by the 6502? I'm pretty sure there will need to be a 6522 VIA between the two chips for communication.

The Mocking board for the app

The Mocking board for the apple II used a 6522 to connect to it, but I think it can connect direct. I could be wrong, I'd have to read the data sheet.

That's the Mockingboard schematic using a 6522. Many of the bus signals are the same to the 6522 on the II vs the replica 1.

Here's a schematic without a 6522 to a Z80 machine I think.

You should be able to connect it this way and save some logic.

If I were to use a design sim

If I were to use a design similar to the mockingboard... e.g. 6522 directly connected to the IO Bus, 6522 connected to the ay-3-8910, how could I program the AY-3-8910 chip through the VIA with Integer BASIC?
