pdf Toshiba HX-MU900 upgrades by FRS

Three upgrades where done on the HX-MU900:
1) 256KB SampleRAM
2) MSX-Audio BIOS
3) Audio input (for recording)
The first two are complete and work perfectly. The 3rd upgrade, the audio-input, do not work as well as it should. The HX-MU900 indeed record samples, but there is some problem on the analog portion of this upgrade that is beyond my skills: it records quite some background noise on the samples. I only have digital-electronics knowledge, thats why I can’t figure whats wrong. I’ve included the unfinished 3rd upgrade in the guide in hope that someone with analog electronics skill could help to solve this background noise nuisance.
