I appreciate your enthusiasm, Smash, and I'm quite upset with Centsible, but I personally am not going to prosecute anyone over SID chips. All I want is the pair of NOS chips that they owe me. What we should do, after getting everyone's outstanding orders filled, is negotiate the purchase of all NOS chips that they have so that we don't have to deal with them anymore. If you do talk to them, here are the particulars from the order that they owe me, and I don't care if they have to substitute 6581s for 8580s, so long as the chips are NOS, as advertised.

Anyone going to "World of Commodore" in Toronto, December 3rd?? They now have an enormous link to it at the top of their website... sounds like an awesome event btw., except for the $15 admission, and it being held in a church. soggy

Ha..!! I've been waiting OVER A YEAR for them to send me the two 8580's that I ordered. I've called - leaving detailed messages - more than ten times, and sent just as many emails. NEVER A SINGLE RESPONSE. I'm usually quite patient, so I couldn't make a fraud complaint with PayPal, since I had waited over 30 days to do so... I'm suprised that this is the first I've heard of someone else running into trouble. What did you do to "Resolute problem"? OVER A YEAR soggy

hello, i'm a new midiboxer and also have received a handful of SmashTV's new PCBs. I have a modular analog synth that is mostly kit-based, with modules from several different manufacturers. for the most part, these are luxurious boards with thru-hole plating, solder mask on both sides, and plenty of room between parts... they make construction very easy, and perhaps limit me somewhat in becoming a better solderer for that reason ; } anyhow, i was really thrilled to see the improvement in the 2nd-generation SmashTV boards. still, my batch had some issues. the most critical was that one board's traces did not align properly on the PCB, so that most pads did not encircle the thru-holes. this makes for a really sketchy connection. on two other boards, the topside clearcoat extended to cover up many of the thru-holes. not too big a problem, just use something to open them up again. finally, i was also disappointed that many of the parts did not have room to lay flat on the board - there is no way that the standard xicon 1/4-watt resistors i'm using are going to bend to fit flat. but again, not really too much of an issue. unrelated to the boards, and equally my fault for not recording them, are the few part errors that exist in the parts sheets, at least among the core and SID modules. again, i should have made note, because i can't remember now which ones were wrong. i do remember that the bridge rectifiers seemed like massive overkill - with thurston's spec calling for 40V/800mA, and SmashTV recommending 800V/1500mA parts. still, a big thank-you to SmashTV for offering the boards, guides, and service in the first place. soggy
