''Do you see the light you can always call my name and i won't be there'' quote from Snap..

Well i think i know what ganchan means. On some of the c64 psu's you got more than four pins inside the connector maybe he wants to use these since they are unconnected for his other PSU....am i right??

Well if you cut in half you got 2 nice double sided boards from Smash ;D ;D ;D no just kidding...i think nebula is right, try it on vero whateverboard :P

Man these leds are bright!!! Can you even see the surface or do you need 8)

So i have to get some connectors for SIDDER....so tommorow its going to be another trip to the electronic farmer. Already downloaded MIOS Studio and the SID application file so i hope to get some sound this week, but busy busy busy......

Nice nice nice.... ;D lets rox the xox

En daarbij rekent het programma ook meteen uit hoeveel het je gaat kosten........ik heb voor me SIDDER er1 ontworpen met alle toeters en bellen en schrik niet 200 euries.....maar dit is dan ook niet je standaard 19'' ofzo...alles gegraveerd.....ik laat het ontwerp wel zien in me SIDDER thread....

Nice going dude!!! Looks absolutly nice.

Time for some pics.....sorry for the poor quality but my regular camera is in the repair shop....when it comes back i'll post some good pics.

Okay Stryd from now on i'll post everything concerning my SIDDER in my SIDDER thread......

Okay just soldered one little wire wrong and ITS WORKING!!!!!! So the PSU is working, now i have to connect the core and SID to it...... MY FIRST PSU IS WORKING!!!! Read out on core connector = 5,16 Read out on SID connector = 14,17

Just finished soldering the bugger but nothing??? I must be doing something wrong. I use a double pole switch and only the 5V line lights my led. I think the problem lies by the BR. I have to check it again. O yeah the C64 power plug on the schem is this the plug from the power supply or the one on the PCB????

Well just finished soldering the PSU but it doesn't work ??? ??? Gonna take a good look again after i've eating something....its starting to piss me off

Sorry for bumping this up, but i've gotta question to about this psu. Is voltage regulator ALWAYS the 7809?? see mark 2 on schem. So no difference if you use 8580's or 6581's????

You're going pretty fast dude....... ;D

So today got all the things i need for making ''the 4x SID optimized c64 PSU'' Only one question, when i look at the schematics there is a 7809 voltage regulator does this also apply for 6581's?? They take 12V. I compared the 4xsid c64 psu and 8xsid c64 psu schematics and they are both the same....but since the 6581 is taking 12V shouldn't there be 7812 regulator instead of the 7809??? But anyways gonna solder the things i know and wait for your answer about this one. O yeah last night (20 hrs of straight work :o :o) i made my frontpanel with FrontPanelDesigner and it looks awesome....a little bit expensive (200 euro's) so i'm thinking about that one....maybe just let them drill the holes and add transfers myself. But engraved looks so fkkn nice...

Mail send waiting for payment instructions. Thanks J.

Hi Prof, just got a delivery failure to your email adress profpep at hotmail dot com. Maybe its yahoo (mine) i dont know. Anyways i will try again. When do you know the exact amount that we have to pay??

Okee Prof you've got mail........count me in for one kit. Thanx in advance.

So when i'm reading this, the idea pops in my head of a on-off-on switch with 3 different values for the cutt-off range. Or is this not a good idea? And do both C1 and C2 affect the filter? Or is for instance C1 for filter and C2 for resonance? Please inlighten me....

And then the waiting starts Sub ;D ;D ;D

Hey guys, i appriciate the replies but can we keep it on my topic please? Offcourse i hope everybody's legs, arms are working fine......

Hmmm apparently the name DATASID is already taken by Sasha......sh*t From now on i will call mine SIDDER (didn't came up when i used search) ;D SIDDER means shiver if you would translate it from dutch to english. In the attached pic you can see what i'm going to build. So four times datasette connected with each other.

Couldn't help myself and finished the core module to ;D now i'm going to bed ;)

So when i got home today a nice suprise was waiting for me in my mailbox. Well actually my next door neighbour was nice enough to receive it so i could start immediatly. 1 core and SID module from Smash.... Well first i had to make the proper work enviroment....this means in my case going to the coffeeshop ;D So when i got home this evening around 22.30 i started unpacking the SID package and displaying all the components and to see whats what. After this the solder mayhem madness began. Around 0.00 i had my SID completly solderd and i have to say i'm proud of myself because it looks really nice. Part of this has to do with the top pcb's from Smash. They solder like a dream. I actually was planning on soldering the core tommorow but....well that's done to now...i only have to solder the J headers and then that's one finished to..... The SID module that i'm building now, DATASID, is going to be a quadro SID with 6581's in them. It's my first MB project and i don't think it's going to be my last. I'm on several waiting lists for the Wilba version but impatient as i am, i had to have a way of testing my 5x 6581 SID chips. For the Wilba project i already got 6x 8580r5's lying and waiting to be used... But back to DATASID.....why this name you may wonder....well it's actually very simple....with every C64 that i've bought there was a DATASETTE to accomplish the C64......four of them didn't work anymore so i removed the inner cassette mechanism so this is going to be the case where i'm building my SID in.. I've got 2 white casings and 2 black casings....there is some sawing and hacking to be done but its going to look absolutely great......i will post some pics of the progress i've made in the next few days.... Now its late and i'm going to my bed, good night....speak to you later. edit: DATASID IS NOW SIDDER.
