 01,02: The OR gate on pins 1, 2, and 48 was intended for a 28-pin 
         128KiB CHR ROM, but TTA2 doesn't use it. Perhaps it's too slow?
         This can be considered a general-purpose OR gate when not in debug mode.
 17,18: missing on TTA2, 3.58MHz ceramic resonator on LP
         Note: LP uses a 3-pin resonator, presumably with built-in loading caps.
         An equivalent 2-pin quartz resonator will require loading caps approx. 18pF.

Expansion audio mixing circuit:[1]
   The audio is mixed through a ceramic daughterboard with a 9 pin SIP connector. Pins 4-6 are unconnected,
    since they were primarily used for laser trimming the resistors during production.

Equivalent circuit schematic:
   The daughterboard uses a dual op-amp for amplification. Only one amplifier is used.
