I could give the 2 pcbs i ordered away, (i dont have much use for them yet until mb sid is finished) ill just have to hope that the expanded board bulk order definitely happens! I'd donate money gladly but im unemployed with no welfare almost 3 years now. :-\

LOL. * http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=IhJQp-q1Y1s&NR=1 *

I think the worst thing about that auction is how he/she refers to it as a "Rare Sidstation Clone!". ::) As if sidstation created the sid chip you fucktard!

What the hell are formalities? Over here we just pay 21% tax and thats it, unless a courier service charge an additional fee for paying the customs for you. UPS being the courier service for the saucy fees!

Yep! its pretty Awesome! Yuzo Koshiro should totally make one and use it to play live shows! ;D Now wouldnt that be awesome! He actually dj'd some of his old chip tunes before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE_1M8CiINM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE_1M8CiINM theres 4 more parts on the tube too.

Wow! thats awesome! So thats the real reason nils is building one eh? ;) He just wanted to build himself a cheap .wav player. :(

Seems okay for every other tune ive listened to so i think you may have found a bug! best place to put it up is in the Bug Reports Section of the SOASC subforum, or if youre unsure in the general soasc project subforum. http://www.dirtcellar.net/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=17&sid=f092c0c3b9e7d4f0094cb2413d3f5528 Theyll get to the bottom of it in no time.

And BY THAT i do not mean to see the next scene! Just wanted to see more of the style of animation lol!

Haha, that was cool! Cool music, cool animation! Wish it was longer though! :(

Thanks! i didnt realise you could change the colour to that extent. I have yet to fiddle with contrast pots. :-[

Okay after researching this, im thinking about fitting 4 x 3.5mm Stereo sockets into the Expansion port hole, with the LPT Socket Removed. The default hole size of the back panel looks too big to be able to tighten the nut of the audio socket around it, so it looks like the hole would have to be reduced to say the standard hole size you have on the back panel of a Desktop Computer. I do not have any 3.5mm audio sockets to test this out yet, but as soon as i get one i shall try to determine what the best size Hole would be. The advantage of using the existing expansion hole, is that you can always remove the sockets later if you want to put the expansion socket back for other uses, and the fact theres virtually no room elsewhere to do this. If anyone has any thoughts on this i would appreciate a reply.

Done

*Added a link to your alternative wiring guide in the wiki. One thing i don't understand BF, is why your LCD does not look at all like the Green-Yellow LCDs in the Bulk Order you ordered it from. It looks a much nicer green - green. Did you achieve this by changing the contrast? The colour you have is a perfect alternative to using a PLED, without the noise.

Some C64's have the sid chips soldered directly to the board, its just a matter of luck really. I think most c64s have a socket though. Not sure what the deal is with 128's.

Yeah but the chances of getting a C128 are a lot lower than a c64 since not as many models were sold.

Should'nt this be in the Fleamarket? (awww yeah!)

I hear if you touch it with your finger it gives you special powers

The fact it can be used as a grounded input when its not open is awesome! Thanks for the reply. What i would love to have for my mb-6582 is have both the 4 stereo feedback pots and 4 stereo (NC) input sockets. It would need a custom back panel though and could be a very tight squeeze. I might just be able to get away with it using 1/8" stereo sockets or something. Must fire up the FPD file and see what can be done.

Did you notice any difference in the sound? I guess the linear 100ks arent as strong or something? Hehe i think we need someone to volunteer to do an audio comparrisson with the different values, in the style of the site owned by the dude who came up with the idea for using feedback with a sid!

Well for the non MB-6852 projects you can order from Mikes Midishop also, in europe, which would probably be faster. But i have to say for me, that smashs kits and his info pages on the site make it so much easier to put these together. The javasciprt images are extremely helpful, to visualise where each part goes where.

The parts kits will be available sometime in the future, so youll have to wait until then. The list filled a few months back so you cant sign up anymore. Its all explained here As for the differences, i dont know the exact differences, but i think wilba just made a few improvements to his design, moving things around a bit and such... If you read in the wiki, wilba suggested that you should build a normal MB-SID first before you build the mb-6852. So you get some practice and experience before you go building the big boy. This is what im doing, building a Step A control surface (minimal design) MB-Sid. Basically 1 x Core 1 X Sid Module 1 x DINx2

That makes perfect sense man! :) PT-10 panel = visible screws. Wilba panel = no visible screws. Not really a problem, especially if we replaced the screws with black ones ourselves to keep them discrete.
