Last night I built a second SID module, and as could be expected it didn't get up and running as easily as the first one. When I power it up, the LCD displays the MIOS information and then just

P 1 C 1 1---

<empty>

I have a BankStick connected to the core and there should be patches available. If I remove the cable to the J2 of SID, the LCD displays "Loading From BankStick". The only sound I get from the module is just random noise. The SID-IC has been tested with another module and it is working, so are the other ICs. The IC voltages are ok. The module is almost identical to the previous one (except different caps and regulator, because of 6581 -> 8580 change, and BC547 -> BC546). I haven't found any shorts by eye or multimeter, yet.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

P1 C1 1--- means that Patch 1 (the internal patch) has been loaded, assigned to MIDI Channel 1, SID1 is selected.

Did you check the BankStick patches 2..128? Which patch names are visible?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Eehh.. Nevermind. I guess inspection done visually and with multimeter is not accurate enough. The problem was solved by resoldering the connector on the SID-module.  :)
