New information?

[Razmo]

Hi everyone! :O)

Until now I've been looking for a R1 SID chip for my collection, but as most probably know, both R1 and R2 have no revision markings, so to know which is which is kind of hard... some have said a particular batch date can be used to identify this (a special batch in 83 should be the breaking point)...

Now I'm not so sure... I've found a site on the net, that gives a hint at, that the R1 actually never reached the market! ... so that in fact the only SIDs available to the public is from R2 and up!

Don't know how much interrest this info has to you, but for a collector as me, It's certainly valuable info ;O)

The page I found is this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_SID

If this site is allready common knowledge for you guys, then bear with me  ;D

Regards, Jess.

P.S. the site has lot's of other nice info and links about SID.
