experimental Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I just finished my Midisid:One SID with 6581One CoreOne 16 x 2 LCDControl surface A with pushbutton rotary controllerpowered by optimized C64 PSUMIOS 1.9SID 1.73Up until i built the bankstick everything seemed to be functioning correctly- I built a single bankstick using a Amtel 24LC256-I/MS from Mouser, hooked it up and turned the MIDISID on, and it formatted the bankstick and made the customary slotmachine sounds counting up to Patch A 128-Once it is finished the Screen shows C019 Chn 3 1---<No BankStick>I can go into the CFG menu and swith the bank to A (all the rest have an * after the bank letter), but once I turn the MidiSid off it formats the BankStick all over again.I checked the orientation of my wiring from the BankStick to J4 of the core and it appears to be correct-I checked the continuity from all 4 wires J4 to the Bankstick 8 pin DIL socket at it appears fine.When i go to upload the 128 preset patches, it appears to be accepting them but as soon it is done, it is empty.Any assistance would be appreciated.Thanks- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pay_c Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sorry to say that, but you should get a Microchip 24LC. I had the Atmel 24LC´s once, too, and they don´t work so good on the MB core, don´t ask me, why. Actually they get randomly formatted. Just get on the microchip homepage and get yourself some 24LC512 (or 256) samples and you got no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-SDK Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Also, microchip needs a educational or registered business (email?) (address?) to send samples. I was dissapointed :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewMartens Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Also, microchip needs a educational or registered business (email?) (address?) to send samples. I was dissapointed :'(Really? Just make up a company name and use your home address, that should work. Something like "HL-SDK Enterprises".

HL-SDK Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Maybe it's just for microcontrollers... Either way, I'll try again hmmmm---Microchip currently only accepts online sample orders from registered business or university email addresses. We currently do not accept orders from generic ISP accounts. Please do one of the following:1. Register with a valid business or university email address and place your sample order:( Anyway... Maxim will send me samples... of what they have... :-/ lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you could always register a domain name and get hosting for it, but that might negate the "getting free samples" part. Still, if I were to think of it that way, I'm sure that the samples I got this year would have already paid for my domain and hosting costs...

c0nsumer Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Why not just buy them? The 24LC512 (enough room for all presets and your custom patches on a MBSID) only costs $2.09 from Mouser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
