Well, I don't know the addresses, since I use an otherwise identical
"Stereo Pak" made by Speech Systems, Batavia, Ill.
I'd suggest PEEKing at addresses starting at FF50 and going by
multiples of 4 till you read what looks like an ACIA (6820),
assuming that's what Orch-90 uses.  Or try POKEing away,
alternating 255 and 0, till you hear a click in your speaker.

If you want some of my software music stuff, written over the
last three years (including a score compiler with DECENT notation
and a real-time wah-wah organ program using FM sysnthesis),
email me for where to send a blank diskette.
