Anyone know if it would work on lower end microcontrollers like the Z80? I managed to use the TI-84+'s I/O port connected to a speaker to play simple tunes[0] using a Forth program I wrote[1], but maybe I can exploit the hardware to modulate AM frequencies?

I copied an assembly program off the net back in ~ 2000 that did AM audio on my TI83! So I'm positive it can be done..!


Do you happen to have a link to it/recall the name? Sounds interesting!


incredibly enough, it's still on the web!

I think you want 'songplay.zip', as it includes an X-files tune. This is probably the one I remember... From the readme:

    Here is a small song player on the TI-83 (the first I think). This works with
    an earphone plugged in the link-port (a piezzo buzzer, etc), or with an AM radio...


Thank you! Hopefully it can be adapted to run on the 84+.
