So on monday the sid will be shipped from china to me......

I'm in. :)

Hello people getting all stuff together is work ! (didnt notice that when i started the thread.:) ) I ordered 150 6581R4AR from China. 8) 110 are ordered by you all. the rest is reserved for dead on arrivals/bad tested . you never know whats happening. if they are ok i'll sell them too. Money is transfered to them - please wait while loading on monday i will go to the post office and will make a complete and more detailed shipping - price list. some of you want shipping with assurance others with suscription paper and so on. most of you did send me the shipping addresses. Money can be payed by PAYPAL or regular bank transfer. Anyone who has a paypal account (and order sid of course) please send me a mail. But theese details are first of interest when i have the chips in my own hands. and when the chips arrive : MUSIC

changed my mind ! :) i will order them this week. If anybody wants some in addition to the above list. Please mail me

As you noted the 24 were just for me as testing samples. i can get enough them. maximum is count 300 !! they want me to order all of them for the price, but ithink then we'll have to wait for very long. I try to manage this. In my opinion i will start the order at beginning (latest mid) of November for giving more people the chance to get some of theese chips. greetz Max

to all: the price is for the chips is 12$ usd To Kartoshka: So the cheapest mailservice i have found is called "Maxibrief" and costs 8€ about 12$ sorry to say that. to ganchan: how many chips do you want ? (send me an email)

to kartoshka : yes it is, abut maybe we hopefully can find something bette!

now i'm really confused about the calculations ! :) we can wait or not i don't mind

Hello people SOUNDS !! Here are some waves of recorded tunepieces: http://rapidshare.com/files/63726473/6581R4AR-3sids_test.rar.html (sorry for rapidshare, but don't know where else) The sids are transfered from PC (winamp in_sidpc64 ) to C64 via PC64 cable. The recordings are about 3 min mono in pcm-wave format . short parts of 30 seconds for every sid tune There are 3 recordings each for a different chip. It's not edited or anything like this. pure record without any gain changes. Everything with 0 dB amplifying. I made recordings in Cubase over my emu 1212m - that's why i'm sure there is no amplifying :) If anybody can give me informations how to burn a prg file onto an eprom especially into an Action Replay module please help me ( so i have a burner but don't know how to set startng adresses and so on . something like a cartridge converter would be nice )

hey kartoshka mee too please i'll send you a mail

tomorrow evening i'll place some sid-recordings into this forum good night

interessted for 20 pcs "whack" <- stolen from wilba

20 of them for me please ! email to ?

I'm ok thanks for your greetings. leaves on the street !! very slippy !! told the police that i just made a driving fault. -> no points 35 € if i told them that it was slippy it would be 3 points and much money :P so Weekend can come ! regards Max

Hello people, got my chips and i'm in testing phase. Last two days i reconstructed my old c64 !! Was a c64C so had to modify it for using with 6581 !! But works now.8) Test conditions: 12V VDD 470pF ExtIn is connected with ground over 330K the output is pulled down with 1k (R8) For the first look all chips are great !! played several sid files via sidplay for c64 and they sound amazing. reminds me to my childhood . tested bombo from daglish (one of my favourites) and tobeontop and some more. btw if i want to burn a prg onto an eeprom do i have to convert it before ? i want to "boot" into sidplay directly for faster testing theese are the good news. bad news : I didnt compose the test-tune until yet. want to do it with goattracker (help with that would be great) I will start with that in a few days (hopefully weekend) but one hour ago i had a car accident. and next two or three days i have to manage this first. Everything is crashed : front, side and rear! fucking leaves :) so i think you all will get good quality brand new 6581R4ARs stay tuned regards Max

i will prepare a special sid-file. it will do the following for all waveform on three channels separately sweep from 20-4000hz filter sweep over a 800 hz tone for lp,bp (mid range),and hp playing commando Remix or original from Rob Hubbard and record everything as wave. then i will look onto the waveforms. for any suggestions about testing i'll be gratefull. by the way can anyone give me informations if there's a good method for playin sid over XE-Cable e.g with 64hdd its long time ago that i used tha (1.5 Years :))
