I know that the 8364 chip is the 'Paula', which did sound, as well as floppy
and joystick I/O (I believe) - that's probably the only useful one there.  I
have a pinout for it, but unfortunately that's about it, other than this:

Features :
* Four voice of sound output configured as two stereo channels
* Nine octaves
* Complex waveforms
* Uses both amplitude and frequency modulation
* I/O controls for disk data and controller ports
* Microdisk controler
* Interrupt control system

If you want, I can send you the pinout (with a vague description of what
each pin does)... I may have more info tucked away somewhere.  Was
previously considering using the Paula to do a synth project, but I've since
decided to just finish off my SID module first, and then build a
micromodular.  Let me know if you're interested in more data, and I'll see
what I have stashed away on my HD.

Cheers,
Andrew Martens
