Thanks for your reply Mike! Right decision time.... I'm gonna go for the C64 design.... so that means i am going to have to get a C64 now yeah? What's the difference between having 8 SIDS and 1/2 SIDS? Sorry for the stupid questions but hey I'm new! :) Thanks!

Hey peeps, Really loving what you guys are doing and i want to get involved with making a MidiBox Sid. So i was wondering if you guys can help a newbie out with some questions... 1. I want to keep my controller simple so would it be good to buy the Commodore 64 and just rebuild it into the MidiBox or is that going to be too complicated? The main thing for my first go is i don't want to have to do too much construction. So either go for something like: http://www.midibox.org/midibox_gallery/klingen1.jpg or http://www.midibox.org/midibox_gallery/paul1.jpg What do you think? 2. I'm guessing I'm going to need to buy a 64 anyway as I'm going to need the SID chip? or are there full construction kits with everything i'll need to build the whole thing including the front panel? If so do you have any links and prices? 3. I'm not an electrician or great at electronics but i can solder components so i should be able to get by right? Also things will have to be explained really simple as yeah.... I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to all this. But as i say i really like what you guys are doing and i wanna try and get involved :) I've been reading through http://www.uCApps.de/ But getting quite lost due to the amount of pages and lack of knowledge on the whole thing so yeah any of you guys help would be mucho appreciated! Thanks, G
