Yeah Arkanoid was fun! I do still have my Atari 1200XL :D

Yeah Thats where I got the 2 in that pic, but they have been thin on ebay lately. I did get one that had the right keyboard but hat a 6581 in it, I have 3 6581 so don't need anymore. I feel bad about it to but really, who's using C64s anymore besides for the sid chip like MSSIAH.

I guess I was concerned about a short, but it wouldn't work then, at least it shouldn't. With my small aluminum piece on there it's not hot enough to burn you, but pretty toasty. I have to say I originally built with one sid, but adding the second for stereo effects increases the awesomeness of the SID sound 10 fold. On a side note, does anyone know of C128s had 8580s in there or 6581s, or both?

But I need the 12V to power the 9v regulator for the SIDs I guess I could get a larger 9V and power the 5V off of it, or just use the heat sink, I just would think the regulator powering the LCD and the PIC would get hot too, it's running of the same 12V

I'm in for 20 Transparent!

Still looking for 3 8580s if someone has a kind heart! :D

Was hoping to quiet some of the noise, which I did a bit (Not much to be worth it) my input is from a 12v regulated PS. The regulator running the PIC and LCD doesn't get hot, I find it odd that the other does, but everything works fine, I've checked voltages and they are all good also. Bought a couple old C64s off ebay to get those, I have an order in for the MB-6582 so I need more too! Still need 2 more 8580s (Have 2 on there way to me), was going to do 6 8580s and 2 6581s

Ok so I soldered this up over the past week and it's working great! But I do have a couple questions. 1. I have a 5v regulator dedicated to just running the SIDS and it gets pretty toasty, is that normal? 2. When a patch isn't playing I can still here the oscillators running in the background very faintly, again normal? Thanks!! Here are a couple pics...

Yeah, I've been looking for some on fleabay, check everyday. The computer geek in me hates to destroy a any working computer no matter how obsolete it is lol, but the music geek in me says tear her to shreds. I'll keep looking on ebay but I hope I find some here too.

Looking to buy 4 SIDs. I'm gathering parts to build a MB6582 and just want to start off with 4 sids. Been scouring ebay and hate to buy full systems just to rip the chip out but might have to. Thanks!!
