GET-TING READY.

[restoration911]

最初この起動曲を聴いたときに、モーツァルトをDX7で演奏した­カンジのメロディに鳥肌が立ちそうになったのを

20数年経った今でも思い出します。

Thanks 4 Your Uploadings!

I have a computer called the "Seequa Chameleon" that uses Bubble Memory. However, unlike the Bubble system, it has a 8088 and a z80, the z80 being used for CP/m programs.

@SuperSmashDolls according to wikipedia, "Konami used their new G400 BIOS for this project, and modified it a bit. The main CPU was a Motorola 68000 at 10 MHz. There was a separate Zilog Z80 for sound control, which drove two AY-3-8910s, a custom Konami SCC (K005289), and a VLM5030 speech synthesizer."

I guess that's why there could be music/speech/some graphics while it was warming up.

The warm up is for the bubble memory system only, which was a form of non-volatile data storage for stuff such as high scores.

The board's system RAM, program ROMs and processors can operate in an independent enough fashion of the bubble memory system to allow the voice samples in the winter mode warmup as well as the countdown and playback of the morning music in regular warmup.

I'm kind of surprised that the board has to wait two minutes before even starting up the warm-up-the-bubble-memory routine but it can play synthesized voice samples beforehand.

You can hear a pulse at 2:17, then a faster pulse when the video is about to play the morning tune...
