SOME EXAMPLES OF AY chip MUSIC FOR ZX SPECTRUM 48K
Firts AY interfaces for ZX Spectrum 48K appeared actually even before 48K model apeared because they were originally for ZX81 computers but it was also possible to connect them into ZX48K. But don't buy the early devices (like Fuller Box) as they are not standard nowadays. Modern AY interfaces (fully compatible with Spectrum 128K) appeared later, mostly in Central Europe, and their base was Czech'o'Slovakian MELODIK interface.
Well, actually Spectrum 48K can play all chiptunes written on Spectrum 128K and some digital songs (Amiga MOD-like music) that are big up to about 38Kb and don't frolic on RAM areas higher than 48Kb. However, ZX48K - in contrast to 128K - is STEREO in most cases because AY interfaces became popular several years after releasing 128K series.
Here is a list of GAMES WORKING ON ZX48+AY!!!
