It lives (a little)

Very pleased to report that my 6582 has made its first noise -- notes played on the MIOS Studio keyboard trigger the one (so far) 8580 to play that lovely reedy default patch.  This is delightful.  Thanks for all your help so far, all y'all.

Well done! Are you building the CS too or somethin else?

I intend to build the control surface, too, and have gathered the case and most of the rest of the needed stuff, but this has been a slow burner so no telling when it'll be done.

Second status report:  of the nine SIDs I'd salvaged from C64s through the years, seven boot up and make noise, two 8580s and five 6581s.  I guess I'll need to get a SwinSID or something to fill this out, but that's actually a better ratio than I expected, so again I am delighted.
