found a dealer located in Norway.. (actually, it's almost a walking distance away from me ;)) http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=no&vat=0&dok=9855.htm They don't have 20x4 either, but they have 20x2 also (it says their out, and don't know when they'll have it back in... get's it from Taiwan). This one's a bit thinner (9.6mm to be exact), so that's the way to go if there's only a 10mm gap. the one at htvision.com was 13.5mm.... I don't know if it works on the similar system though, so if you could check out the product data chart, Wilba, I'm sure you'll figure it out... (press the "sheet"-button next to the "i"-button) If these are still available, and can be used, I can ship them to whoever's building the MB-6582. I don't think ELFA ships internationally... 271 NOK is about €25 / $45 US. Lars

Are you guys still looking for PLED displays? found this company located in the Netherlands http://www.htvision.com/ The 20x4 aren't in stock, so I don't know if they still make them, but they at least have smaller ones. (does the software support larger then two rows?) I also checked out the forums, and they experimented with the same PIC's (?) that we're using for the MIDIbox's, so I assume they'll work... Can anyone confirm this? Wilba? They only ship to EU (got a Dutch friend of min to translate..), but if we are able to use them, I'll be happy to order a bunch and ship them out to anyone who's building the MB-6582... ;) Lars

Hi there! This is exactly what I need!! Count me in on those PCB's and group-orders!!! I also want a MIDIbox SID, but I want the professional look. Sadly, I don't have much time to design the PCB's, so this is perfect! ;) Where did you get the work on the faceplate done? And is the design available somewhere? Also, since we all need to do the soldering on our own.... Do you have schematics for what parts are needed and where they go on the PCB? would certainly make it alot easier! :) And if I've understood it correct... are we able to use all kinds of SID's mixed together (in pairs..)? I have 4x8580 and 2x6581.. Just need to know if I can use 4 of each to get both filter-sounds, or if it's best to use 8 similar ones... I'm aware of the voltage-difference, but didn't you mention something about fixing this on the PCB? In that case, how will it be done... some sort of auto-recognition, software programming or jumpers on DIL pin headers? Thanks, Lars
