There is no pokey in a P][ cart.  The custom sound chip doesn't even put
out analog audio like a pokey does, and the 2600 doesn't even have the
analog line in on the cart slot like the 7800 did, at least from what I
hear.

If my understanding is correct, the P][ sound chip just generates chains
of numbers for a given input parameter corresponding to a note.

Or something like that =)
