however something that IS quite interesting to me is how, by all i knew about analog photography, i didn't think a screen had enough brightness to expose an image onto instant film. but that's exactly how "printers" like the link do it, in fact you can even do it with your phone!

that being said, i'm a faithful owner of an instax mini 70 camera and if this is what fujifilm needs to continue production of instax film, so be it. i just hope demand doesn't grow so much it becomes hard to find

here's a candid instax photo of me carrying my mom's elderly dog

the UM3567 however had a more native application... video gambling machines. So popular in numbers in fact, that these days it's easier to grab a new old stock UM3567 than it is to try to source a legitimate YM2413 still working.

UMC is also known for such things as:
- the 2A03 clone UA6527 which powered certain famiclones in the early 90s
- a very cheeky YM2413 clone, UM3567, which *improves* on the original Yamaha design by having a true DAC on the output stage rather than multiplexing the channels
