Editing Use the PSG

== The PSG is inside the FPGA of the F256Jr, F256K, F256Jr2 and F256K2 ==

The F256 machines have a dual PSG based on the SN76489 inside the Beatrix FPGA which generate 3 tones of square wave
and one noise generator each.<br>

=== Command Formats ===

Example:
<p>To produce a 440 Hz A on Tone 1, send these bytes to address 0xD600 (left PSG)

<p>0b1001 0100 (middle volume "attenuation" command)<br>
0b1000 1101 (low byte of the note)<br>
0b0000 1111 (high byte of the note).

<p>to stop the sound, send to 0xD600:

<p>0b1001 1111 (max attenuation closes off the sound)

=== Frequency bytes in C, meant for tone 1 ===
The high nybble of the low byte is set at 8 for tone 1, 
replace with A for tone 2, or with C for tone 3
