The "brain" is is the same, so I really wouldn't call it "lobotomized".
It's more like it lost an appendage or something. I'll let someone else
come up with a metaphor. ;-)

The AY-3-8910 should work, it just has another 8 bit parallel port over
the 8912. You could make a little 28->40 pin adapter and wire up the
right pins and it should be OK. I think Omega Race sound boards use
8912's, might be a possible source given the number of battery
corrosion-destroyed O.R. boards around...
