Mixed-up SIDBox -->

[d2k]

Hi...

Just managaged to get my mits on two SID chips..! ;)

1 is the older 6581 and the other, the newer 8580. Can i link these two together to make a dual SIDbox or do they have to be the same model...? I also wanna make a single PCB design...

Cheers...

Hi,

you just only have to take care for the different voltage domains (9V / 12V).

If you create a single PCB for both SIDs and cores, you have to stuff one 7812, one 7809, one 7805:

both cores and both SIDs can be supplied by a 7805

The 6581 additionally by a 7812

The 8580 by a 7809

15V should be ok for all 78xx in this configuration

Best Regards, Thorsten.
