-	**
-	** aciddose:
-	** First comes a static low-pass 6dB formed by the supply current
-	** from the Paula's mixture of channels A+B / C+D into the opamp with
-	** 0.1uF capacitor and 360 ohm resistor feedback in inverting mode biased by
-	** dac vRef (used to center the output).
-	**
-	** R = 360 ohm
-	** C = 0.1uF
-	** Low Hz = 4420.97~ = 1 / (2pi * 360 * 0.0000001)
-	**
-	** Under spice simulation the circuit yields -3dB = 4400Hz.
-	** In the Amiga 1200, the low-pass cutoff is ~34kHz, so the
-	** static low-pass filter is disabled in the mixer in A1200 mode.
-	**
-	** Next comes a bog-standard Sallen-Key filter ("LED") with:
-	** R1 = 10K ohm
-	** R2 = 10K ohm
-	** C1 = 6800pF
-	** C2 = 3900pF
-	** Q ~= 1/sqrt(2)
-	**
-	** This filter is optionally bypassed by an MPF-102 JFET chip when
-	** the LED filter is turned off.
-	**
-	** Under spice simulation the circuit yields -3dB = 2800Hz.
-	** 90 degrees phase = 3000Hz (so, should oscillate at 3kHz!)
-	**
-	** The buffered output of the Sallen-Key passes into an RC high-pass with:
-	** R = 1.39K ohm (1K ohm + 390 ohm)
-	** C = 22uF (also C = 330nF, for improved high-frequency)
-	**
-	** High Hz = 5.2~ = 1 / (2pi * 1390 * 0.000022)
-	** Under spice simulation the circuit yields -3dB = 5.2Hz.
-	**
-	** 8bitbubsy:
-	** Keep in mind that many of the Amiga schematics that are floating around on
-	** the internet have wrong RC values! They were most likely very early schematics
-	** that didn't change before production (or changes that never reached production).
-	** This has been confirmed by measuring the components on several Amiga motherboards.
-	**
-	** Correct values for A500, >rev3 (?) (A500_R6.pdf):
-	** - 1-pole RC 6dB/oct low-pass: R=360 ohm, C=0.1uF
-	** - Sallen-key low-pass ("LED"): R1/R2=10k ohm, C1=6800pF, C2=3900pF
-	** - 1-pole RC 6dB/oct high-pass: R=1390 ohm (1000+390), C=22.33uF (22+0.33)
-	**
-	** Correct values for A1200, all revs (A1200_R2.pdf):
-	** - 1-pole RC 6dB/oct low-pass: R=680 ohm, C=6800pF
-	** - Sallen-key low-pass ("LED"): R1/R2=10k ohm, C1=6800pF, C2=3900pF (same as A500)
-	** - 1-pole RC 6dB/oct high-pass: R=1390 ohm (1000+390), C=22uF
