It also does PCM, FM, PSG, and what is CSM? Is that on the same board, or another one you are making (with AY chip??)

The same board, depending how it is populated.  8)
The CSM (Composite Sine wave Modeling) voice is a sort of speech synthesis to reproduce robotic fake languages.

Here is a document that has some tables that might be useful for figuring out how to implement an Text-to-English translator for the chip:

The required area on the PCB to reproduce the TMPI expansion is half of the MX4 form factor (8x5cm). So, many space left!  ;D
The idea is to merge with other audio things previously tested, to share the same board and provide interresting sound features.

Thank you for the document, I will take a look.  ;)

The PlayCity is more a multifunctions board around timer/counter features to improve the CPC than a sound card.
The MegaSound is dedicated to the audio experience, providing some kind of way to reproduce sound (voices, sfx, music).

Before showing a video of the board with the "WIP" drivers, I will prefer to keep the surprise for everyone. :)
