frailn: I just found someone with a spectrum zx +2 motherboard just for the shipping charges. I will have my 8912 :D

self-reply... no less than 3GBP each for a bulk order of 150 items. best price found in europe.

I opened my box yesterday night... and it was not empty (nor with some invoice). So the sids are my first part for a becoming mb6582 :) Thanks Wilba

Found a seller in uk... he has 150 x AY-3-8912 in stock and currently selling it 4 GBP each. Is anybody interested for a bulk order? ... I still have to deal with him! I am from France... if some uk guy wants the deal, it could be easier.

Found this... http://sue.niko.to/ps98/ps98@ymf289b-s_sch.png'>http://sue.niko.to/ps98/ps98@ymf289b-s_sch.png Hope it helps :) If it does the same (apparently not very different)... it could be an alternative to expand the opl3 sound chip choice. edit: all schematics and pcbs are here http://sue.niko.to/ps98/ (but i do not read ?japanese?) edit2: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,6196.0.html

0.25$ each !?... shipping cost is about 50$ for the usa but twice more for anywhere in europe

read in Shipping section -------------- International Customers ... $50.00 (plus shipping) minimum order to all Foreign Countries (except Canada) -------------- that is cheap for usa and canadian customers

Yes, I read that. That modification is doable. stryd_one has right... there is no space enough. Maybe for 4 on/off switchs on up-left and 1 volume control for headphone on bottom-right, it could be done? not sure. Wilba, tell us if there is enough space on your pcb design to add something (even with some additional wires).

Thanks to TK and Wilba for the very nice and sexy project mb-6582. Starting from the Wilba's design, is there anyone thinking of modifications for his own sid midibox ? Just an idea (maybe wrong)... but is there still some empty space in the box ? Idea: being able to hear in headphone the sound from a channel before to send it through main output Why: currently, you have to manipulate an external mixer Needs: - to add a headphone plugin in bottom-right of the surface, with volume control - to add an output channel selector in the front-left of the surface, with a volume control and a on/off switch for each of the 4 stereo channels - optionally, to add a main sound output to the back Even if I read midibox forums for years, I just suscribed and this is my first message :) (I am very motivated to do my own box) So if anyone dreams of (or already did some) modifications from Wilba's design, please share your ideas ! Thanks again, Matthieu
