  • Risc PC 16 Bit Sound Upgrade

    From Rob Heaton@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 8 17:50:45 2020
    I have a 16 Bit Sound upgrade by ESP for the Risc PC.
    I don't have the original manual and I'm unsure which way round the audio
    cable goes to the mainboard.

    In the Acorn manual on Chris Acorns site, it says brown to the rear of the case, yet on some pictures on Google images show brown to the front of the case.

    Could someone please pop the top off their Risc PC and take a look for me please?

    sorry, 3rd slice blocks all visibility of the main board.

    Mine has a red wire to the rear connector, and what looks like a bare
    copper wire to the front connector! Middle wire is red, and all are inside
    a grey sheath.
