[ukvac] [Tech] Space Invaders amplification circuit
OK I've got some midway 8080 mobos working now, come up with my own
ram tester I'll expain later .... anyway onto the next problem.

I have 3 SI daughter boards, and they all are not putting any sound
out at all (no hiss or pop or anything) I assume that I have wired
something wrong as I didn't expect all 3 to have absolutely no sound.

I've wired Audio+ to 12v and return to common ground, speaker to pin
8 and 9.

Within about 20 seconds of being on the heatsink on the amp is too
hot to touch (on all 3 boards)

Is is normal for it to get this hot?

Should the powersupply for the sound be isolated from the main board
power supply .. hence the seperate ground connection ??

I can't test it in a real cab as mine is in storage.

Thanks in advance for any info

Luke
