Yep. That was the Processor Technology "Music System". I still have the
board and software in my collection. Really do need to get a picture of
the board onto the web pages. (all three resistors and two capacitors of
it!)

The software also appeared (briefly) as the infamous "Volume 39" of the
CP/M User's Group library. (before P.T. started threatening everyone
