I don't even know where to look for a PIC or EPROM burner in toronto. Does anyone know where i might get one of these useful items?

read back a few messages.. the guy tells you how. the guy who is not me.

I require numerous crystals to harmonize my doom projector! Are the crystals capable of refracting Human Thought Energy?! AHAHA, SOON the earth will be mine and the moon will be destryoeD!

I have been looking into getting 64C-II units and the price of the units + shipping always totals more than 29$ US. So this looks like, for north americans, to be the best possible deal. I'm not in league with this guy and trying to promote his sids or anything, if you can find cheaper sids, please share. But after numerous Ebay dissapointments as prices went up beyond the 29$ US level, i am starting to hink i'll just buy my sids from old siddy here. Sidman.

You love you that has wonderful eyes. or more literally, I REALLY love you that which has wonderul eyes. ge is like latin co, it's an intensifying prefix. Lufian is love, but geLufian is REALLY love.. like looooove loooove. DAMN for time... hmm.. if only i could send you some of the abundant time we have in acanada.. Here in canada, time passes very slowly.. we could trade time for cheapness...

No probs. If i had known you were on this forum, i would have just asked you directly to deal with us as a group. the prices are a little steep, to be sure, but the demand is high.

Actually, Old English is very close to dutch. the branch of germanic that dutch and english are both on split majorly when the danish influence on english started in the 8th century after the danish invasion, and then really split when the normans invaded and brought their weird norman french. But dutch and old english at least share a common parent. However, old english is SO vastly different from middle or modern english that they're unrecognizable.. if i wrote like Ic gelufie thu tha tha haest wundorlic eigen no english speaker could understand that. too bad though, it's a beautiful language. BTW!!! iwould one of you wonderful europeans like to help some north americans find the impossible to find 8580 ??

I wish i knew more dutch. I studied old english at university, but i still don't recognize these nouns.. ahaha.. I don't have any idea if i'm seraching correctly.. but i can't find any sid 8580s so far :(

Yeah, that would be simplest. BTW, where are you getting 5 euro C64C rev 2s or newer 128s? because man, in toronto, all you find are brown breadbox styles and 6581 R4s in C64Cs... I need more european friends.. sigh

Sorry, you told me that you were going to relist them on ebay when i messaged you the first time. Friend of a friend is sort of a generic "i know a guy who knwos a guy" you know? Anyway, i wanted to broker a discount for the midibox sid community, because i've seen enough people trying to find sids and intact commodores. IF you were already on here, i didn't know, but now that i do, could offer a discount directly to this group now and I don't need to bother? W ould you be willing to treat this midibox community as a single entity and if the community en masse orders a sufficient ammount of sids would you give us a group discount? This would save a lot of reshipping costs and let everyone deal with a single direct supplier! Pretty please?! I arrived at 31$ US from the discounted price you quoted me converting to about 27.50$ US and then the price of 3.50 US to ship them from my house where i was planning to order them from to the others, who predominantly live in the united states, btw. So i wasn't trying to make a prophit, just to act as a hub for people to get these sids. Sory if it caused confusion, but no harm no foul. So now that you've spoken up though, how about offering the price you quoted me to the good lads and ladies on this form directly? they'd get a furthr discount (as i owuld not ahve to include reshipping charges). Shipping for 30 chips: $9.87 + $6.00 insurance + fuel surcharge + GST = $17.69 this is what i was quoted, 30 chips at 35 CDN - 15% discount = 892.5 (892.5 + 17.69) / 30 = 30.33 30.33 CDN =~ 27.50 US Shipping to the US of a chip i estimated at about 3.50, i 31$ US. Just to let you know where i got the number from, and that i was not trying to markup or make a profit. I guess i might have made around 30$ if my shipping estimate was off ... ahah.. awesome proffits! BTW.. the guy who posted saying he got them for liek 12 euros.. WHERE? !

Sorry, i am making this the only thread.. i started the first 2 in the wrong section. Here's the deal. I can get 30 of them at a discount price of 31$ american + SH to wherever you are. They are going to go on ebay at 35$ american + SH, so this is the discount. It's slightly more if I only get 20. IT's not the hugest discount, but it's a discount! If i can get people for 30 chips i'll get 30, if i can get people for 20 chips, i'll get 20, so if you neeed 8580s, private message me and i'll write you down. Fingers crossed we get enough! 31$ us Per chip. they will be 35$ per chip online. more than a 6581, but the sound is different, so if you want the 8580 sound this is a means to that end.

Just what the topic says! PM me for details!

Well, i guess he listed them. I searched ebay just now and didn't find them, but it's possible he had some listed? I dunno. All i know is that he's eager to sell them and my friend who knows him (no doubt through yet another friend) says he'll give him (us) a deal. So i'll get more details when he's awake tomorrow, as he's no doubt sleeping now, and get back to you guys.

I found a new source of 8580s, they are never used, each one is tested, well, according to the guy. He's, as always, a friend of a friend. He lives in canada, and he's got about 100 8580s. He's about to list them on ebay for 35$ america, buy it now only. But before hand, he's willing to sell to me and my friend, and i assume, you guys too. So get back to me and i'll see about a batch order. That would probably lower the price. He quotes me 35$ canadian, which is less than 35$ american obviously. Small discount, but i'll post back with his response on a batch order. I bet this board could end up with all 100! aha

Thanks.. i'll post on parts archive now.. i just thought the SId forum was good for sids. the price i was quotes was 35$ canadian, but that was for one. I think a batch buy would fetch a discount. It's not the cheapest, but not the most expensive i've seen. 6581s are easy to come by as there are just so many more of them, and they are often about 20$ on ebay. Once you factor in the flesh you have to cut off.

Hi.. i don't know if i'm breaking the forum rules, if i am, i'm sorry, and tell me and i'll delete this. I am not selling anything though, but my friend in the commodore underground found a guy who just got about 100 unused never inserted sid 8580s, and he hasn't listed them on ebay. I am trying to negotiate buying some in advance, and if anyone is looking for this chip, i would be happy to try to get you in touch with the guy. The 8580 runs cooler, and has much better filtering, but lacks some of the gritty distortion of the 6581. It's up top you guys. I am not making any money out of this, i just thought you';d want to know about this. Again, i don't know if you're not allowed to post about commercial opportunities like this on the baord, so if you aren't, please, don't ban me, jsut tell me and i'll delete the post. just sharing the good news

Hi.. i need to get a 6 pin female DIN plug to build an adaptor from an XE1541 to XM1541.. i know this is not the right place, but it thought you'd know, you guys. WHERE is a good electroncis supply online that i can order from in north america? 6 pin female din plugs are REDICULOUSLY rare in toronto.. i've been to 3 surplus stores and 3 electornics stores.. even Source doesn't have them.. please help if you can.. sorry it's off topic.. but i will also order parts for my midibox sid from the place you tell me to go, so all in all, it's not soo off topic.

Yes.. extra connectors and ribbon cable.. patient waiting... can i order toda and receieve these mystical bonus prizes?

with this information http://www.gamesx.com/cartouts/mastercart.htm http://www.smspower.org/maxim/docs/SN76489.txt would it be possible, do you think, to create a cartridge that goes into a sega master system but gives instructions to the audio processor that produces output, similar to the wayfar midines? or to harvest the chip from inside the SMS and build a midibox about it? I would genuinely love to be able to do this.... !!! BUt i just don't know anything about programming microcontrollers...

sorry, i looked around but didn't see that.. i will be more scrupulous next time.

so it's the core you're waiting for? the sid units are available now? or both are coming from china soon?

Hi, i hate being this annoying, but, are the new core and sid revisions completed and shipping? I have 4 sids, and i'm psyched to start making my midibox !
