kriz Posted November 19, 2003 Report Posted November 19, 2003 hi,i found a c64 recently, and after opening it, i found that it contained the sid chip, but nu a 8580, but a 8580R5, this is actualy a stereo version of the chip ( Double SID chips for stereo sound (8580R5)). Can this chip stil be used, or do i need an older version of the c64, with the 8580 or 6581 chip?kriz Quote
TK. Posted November 20, 2003 Report Posted November 20, 2003 Hi Kriz,where did you read that this is a stereo version? My MIDIbox SID is also stuffed with 2 * 8580R5 (and 2*6581), but they only come with a single audio outBest Regards, Thorsten. Quote
kriz Posted November 20, 2003 Author Report Posted November 20, 2003 after posting this message, i got some more info on the chip, and it states that the 8580R5 is indead a mono chip, but that it was used in a stereo configuration on some of the latest commodore's . But in your message you said that this chip can be used for the midibox sid, so i am glad that i can use the chip :D.thanxkriz Quote
