Thank you for your help! I now ordered a bigger coolervand hope it is sufficient enough.

Thank you for all your quick responses. First I will use a metal cooler (Reichelt: V 5801B) and attach it to the Voltage regulator and maybe I will later try a switching Vreg. In the walkthrough the recommended range of the PSU is 14-15V AC. Is there a Problem If I use 14-15V DC? The rectifier converts AC to DC, doesn't it?

That's the one I want to buy. In the partlist you have this entry and this seems to be a PSU: 1 Poweranschluss-Buchse wall adaptor (power supply) Edit: I just realized that this is not a PSU, but just an adapter. I still don't know what kind of adapter it is. So now my question is what is the best way to supply the SID chip and the Modules. What is the difference between a modern voltage regulator and a linear Vreg?

Hi there, first of all, I would like to thank Thorsten for developing this awesome project idea! Right now I'm planning to bild my first MidiSid, which is my first Midibox Project as well. I have decided to order the Kit-Set that contains the MBHP_CORE and the MBHP_SID from Mikes Midishop. I do not have the original C64 power supply, because I bought the 6581 on Ebay without anything else. My Question is about the power supply that is provided along with the kit. Do I need an extra PSU for the 12V supply for the 6581 or is the power source able to supply the SID chip as well? Sorry if this is not the right place for this question. Cheers, Arnhold
