  1. Simple single SID parts

    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 :)

    Also, you will need a C64 power port, power switch and joystick ports (for plugging in your bank stick modules). I salvaged mine from a defunct C64 motherboard by desoldering them using soldering iron and desoldering braid.

    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 :)

    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
