Hi, Don't found any kit for the mb6582 only some parts on the web, but it's to expensive and to far from the original. Found thanks to the ..... the sammichSID link, and as i'm crazy, i bought one, afraid of finding no-more ones, but i hope it won't stop because long live to real sid (6581 & 8580) the best synthesizer included in a computer/console for it's time. It's seems that with this diy i will be able to come back in the 80's demo scene time with by time replacing the digital copy by a 6581 & a 8580. Hope someone will spend time in manufacturing these two gems again! Digital is just a mathematical approach of a real thing, and never in any analogue domain, will be the digital able to reproduce the real thing. (As my favourite studio director says, digital is pixel, no matter how many pixels you have, there will always be space between them. ! completion by me! it is just good as control/tracking purposes on analogue (semi/analogue) machines) Anyway, those digital copy comes in handy to make/test the device and wait that my wife stop hitting me to buy the real sound chips. Question: Do anyone have a link for a supply useable on the sammichSID, which permit me to use the 6581 & 8580 (and the swinsid) ? Also, is it possible to switch off the leds on the top of the control surface ? Thanks in advance, Have a good day, Rgds,

Welcome, you can find answers here http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual.html You can put in 8 SIDs but you can not separately use them. 2 SIDs are handled by 1 Core = 2 SIDs are used for polyphony and Stereo. You can ask someone to build you a Box, here.
