286 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I've been reading up on the MB SID the last week or so and I must say I'm impressed. I've always loved the sound of the SID-chip and this is certainly a DIY-project I would love to try out. I know how to solder and "build stuff" but haven't done it in a long time so I also see it as an opportunity to polish up on that.I'm thinking of going with the most simple setup possible as a start: CORE_V3 + SID_V3 + 1 bankstick I've read as much as possible and really tried to soak it all in but two questions remain:1. The powersuply. There is a lot of talk about salvaging a C64 PSU. I don't own one but I do have a 15V, 500mA AC PSU. Would this be sufficient for powering both the CORE and SID(6581) by just plugging in the CORE at J1?2. Audio In. This may sound a bit stupid but what is the function of the audio in? What happens with the inbound audio signal?Bare with me... I'm new to all this. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimo Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 hi and welcome1- you should be on the safe side with 500mA for just 1 SID and no LCD and by the way you probably mean SID V22-the audio in routes the audio out through the audio chain, that is you can use it to filter a sound or to feedback the audio out back in to get a nice warmer soundgood luckSimone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 and by the way you probably mean SID V2He might also mean the number of Smash TV's current Sid PCB - R3A :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
286 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks for the quick answers. So the audio in works as I suspected, thanks for clearing that up.Btw not that it matters but by CORE_V3 and SID_V3 I meant the PCB's from Mikes midishop :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
