C1 AUDIO FIX - FLOPPY NOISE ISSUES

[exxos]

This fix solves the audio noise issues when accessing the floppy drive.

CURRENTLY THE MIDI AUDIO IS DISABLED (to fix later)

MIDI SYNTH FIX.

(un-verified)

The X2 MIDI audio fix previously was to wire pin 1,2,4, on JP3 prevent audio noise issues when not using the midi synth board.

The fix is advised for the C3 board involves fitting 100K resistors as outlined in the post below.


OLD METHOD - hardwire wire pins 1,2,4, on JP3

NEW FIX - Solder 100K 0805 resistors as outlined below.

When soldering the resistors angle them outwards slightly and scratch a bit of the GND fill away and solder.
