After much care, I finally succeeded into building the pd sound digitizer which
used the ADC 0804 (the genie pd piece of hardware).
I also adapted it to have it work on my c-64 . (just a pin adapter nothing 
electronic). 

well,  it is not a very good piece of hardware. too much noise is in a sample
and I took great care into building it. 

comparatively, I sent the upper 4 bits to the c-64 to see if it was really
good and could be used on a c64. Yes it works. but still the same problem.

I have a c64 digitizer that does a better job. (with some pin modification)
I could make it work on my amiga but still it would only be 4-bit resolution.

SO , the digitizer was a B I G disapointment. 
Yes, it does work, but the sampled sound sounds like an old 1920 scratched 
disk that survived the blitz on london during WW2.

Well, I couldnt expect some miracle from a pd hardware project.
(unless there are some improvements, like some well place filters or something 
in those waters.).
