sampling audio -- well who knows in 2025. but back then you were just capturing values at a port, and storing them in memory. easy peasy. same with the video digitiser that made blocky pics of your video tape.

it did help me understand "oh, you just have to measure values at a port-mapped address at a certain time" -- just like how you suddenly understood how the program is the same space you POKE into.

I remember a 5-10 second voice recording sketch from OTTO on c64. with changing border color everytime you pressed space to hear it again. good times. need to find it as d64 file or on yt
