So. The 9 chip demo board. This has not been mentioned previously as far as I can recall.

Why have a 9 chip board when you already have an 80 chip board that could play 9 chips out of the 80 by just making the software for it? You wouldn't, of course.

I'm assuming that the 9 chip board is therefore used solely for the Gen II chips. This makes sense if you need 8 times less Gen II chips than Gen I as was stated in the AGM by Danny. i.e. 80 chips / 8 = 10 but 9 fits in a neat 3 x 3 array.

If this is correct, then the coaster sized loud speakers we have been waiting for are now just 30mm x 30mm x 1mm thick!
