Nice job/information. Thanks.
Just some typos etc. inline below.
Thanks for all the detailed feedback! I'll include it all in the next
revision. I only have one response:
+ low, the count is halted. If the output is low when the gate is lowered, the
+ output automatically goes high (this only affects timer 2).

+Mode 3: Square Wave. This generates a sine wave. The count determines the
a sine wave is a square wave???
Actually, yes. The hardware output from timer 2 output goes through a
low pass filter which effectively smooths the square wave to a sine to
make the PC speaker sound somewhat less annoying. I didn't have room to
depict this in the schematic. Of course, the counter output isn't
directly a sine wave, and the LPF may not be all that effective, but it
was the intent.
