That does sound good, thank you! Maybe I could make a couple of them swappable out and still have a few inside :) I think (hope) I've just ordered everything I need now... can't wait to get started! Really happy I found this site; I was trying to figure out how to convert my C64 to VGA output when I stumbled across a midi box video somewhere and it blew me away with its siddy goodness. Thanks again :)

Ahh great, thanks. I have a C64 in pieces already I could use for such a task. Appreciate the tips too! I'll order a few extra at the same time :)

Great, thanks!

Hi there... hope this is the right place to post this... I'd like to make a MIDIbox for my 6581. As it will be my first, I'm going to start with something simple and expand it with a control panel later. Could someone confirm that these parts are all I will require to get something up and running? * Core kit (with PIC18F4685) * SID kit * 4 x bank stick chips (24LC512) with 9 way D plugs + sockets for each * 2x20 LCD display (16 pin DIL(L) connector) * An old C64 PSU Is there anything else I'll need, such as particular wires to connect things together? I have a chip programmer already and a temp. controlled soldering iron, meter etc. so I think I have most of the tools, just want to be sure I have the components covered. Thanks
