Title: Universal Sound Eproms Post by: uniman on September 17, 2008, 08:51:22 PM People often tell me they remember that "Universal sound" from old t.v. shows with casino scenes.
Most folks don't realize Universal had several different variations of sound chips. So, for the archives, here is what information I have; First and most famous sound chip is the 0822. This was the one heard on t.v. and was installed in most 1985,86,87 machines. There are two chip sockets on the 8116 board, 4M, and 3M. They are 24 pin, made for 2732's. The 0822 is installed on 4M and 3M is empty. Then Universal expanded the sound to two chips, the first chip was the Main Master, and the second was the Data. Main Master installed in socket 4M and Data in 3M. Here is a list of sound chips for the 8116 board; (Bolded numbers are chips I have) Main Master Data Specific Game recognizable feature 8953-0001 8953-0002 ? 8953-0003 8953-0004 8953-0005 several distinctive whoosh sound at begin of reel spin 8953-0006 8953-0007 8953-0008 8953-0022 8953-0024 replaced by 0028 8953-0025 replaced by 0029 8953-0026 replaced by 0030 8953-0027 replaced by 0031 8953-0035 7-RUSH 8953-0040 8953-0041 8953-0042 8953-0045 8953-0046 8953-0047 8953-0048 8953-0049 8953-0050 8953-0023 8953-0024 only for MUSTANG The 8800 board has one 256k sound chip. This chip contains both the Main Master and Data.
