Andrew, Tandy as the saying goes was notoriously cheap... always looking
for ways to maximize margins by driving costs down. Ask the TRS-80 Model I
owners about that. That chip you mentioned could have cost Tandy $.00045
each and a bean counter would have removed it from the proposed spec sheet.
Not sure if you have read about the nixed Deluxe CoCo and its nice sound.
If not, please check Boisey's CoCo book.
John W. Linville also covers the PIA chips in an episode of the CoCo Crew
podcast.
Cheerio,
