  1. i would measure current draw on both 9v and 5v regs.

    also i read somewhere that cascading the regs in this way can cause oscillations,

    maybe the bypass caps are enough to prevent this, but given your experiences here, maybe not.

    it may also be more of a problem when the 5v reg supplies more current than the 9v...

  2. ...just the env bug" ...

    mmmmm bug envy

    The thing is, there are no capacitors at all to speak off.

    you did stuff the caps for the voltage regulators, right?

    use that scope on your psu input, the input to each regulator, and the output of each regulator...

  3. should i bridge pin 4 and 5 according to the pinout youv'e provided here?

    yes.

    bridge them on the pcb that is, not on the psu plug...

    ...(dissregarding the numbers in the pinout you've provided),

    don't do that, these are the proper pin nombers.

    Am i making any sense?  :-\

    no. *whack*

  4. din pin numbers are weird.  i think so that pin numbers stay the same between the variants.

    these do happen to be pin 4 and 5...

    shamelessly stolen from : http://personalpages.tds.net/~rcarlsen/cbm/pinouts.txt,

    which i found lo those many m00ns ago, when discussing this with wilba.

    (facing the right side == looking into business end of the jack)

    The power connector pinout for the C64 is shown facing the right side

    of the computer:

              9VAC -----7            6----- 9VAC

          ground -----3                1----- ground

            +5VDC -----5          4----- +5VDC or no connection

                                    2----- ground

    Note: although only four pins are actually used, the power connector

    is a 7 pin DIN, as shown.

  5. if you are working with a schematic, it's important to make changes to the nets there rather than on the pcb.  you must have edited the pcb with the sch closed or vis versa.  if so, make a backup of the files, open the pcb, close the schematic (it will automatically load) and try deleting the suspect part on the pcb with the sch closed...
