Help
- The pcb is basically comprised of a core module, a gm5 module and two sid modules and 5 banksticks.
- It runs off a single 9V-12V AC/DC wallwart.
- Since the gm5 gives us 5 IO ports, you can hook upto 4 other MIDI devices up to it.
- It has the option of linking together multiple of the fnpSID PCBs to allow for either multiple stereo synths each as their own MIDI port, or linking the PCBs via CANbus.
- Up to 2 of the PCBs can be fit into a single case, turning it into either a 2x stereo SID or a Quad SID setup ;)
- To keep it as simple as possible the pcb does not have headers for anything else than needed - producing SID sweetness.
- In the beginning we were a bit worried about the SNR with the usb and single supply PSU, and I went a bit overboard with bypass caps. But the result speaks for itself:
Wilba: f*ck man that snr is sick
nILS: "puking baby"-sick or "phat maaaan!"-sick?
Wilba: like pretty f*cking good
Wilba: is like my mb6582 without the cs :)
Working on this little beast was a lot of fun and Flexi and I really like the results ;) We would like to thank TK for this incredibly nice project, Wilba for being a third pair of eyes with major pcb OCD and building one of the 3 prototypes and everyone else who made this little toy possible!
Okay, I'll shut up now, here's some pics:

A couple of development pics can be found on my flickr page:
edit: Oh, if this doesn't qualify as MBOTW worthy feel free to move it to a more appropriate location.
