The sound generator chips that I recall TI making were the SN76477N,
SN76488N, and the SN94281. I believe TI also made some others, but those
were commonly available to hobbyist in the time period that is mentioned
above. I'm fairly sure Radio Shack at one time sold some of those
particular sound generator chips too.

I have the data sheet for the SN94281, but I'm not sure about the other
two. If it would be helpful, I can scan it.
