Are there any compatibility issues compared to a hardsid? I suppose this would work with Goattracker too.

If you don't intend to program the PIC while it's on-board I guess you could leave it out. The chip is of course a 6581; with all the 65xx things in these boxes he got it jumbled up smile. If you replace the DC-DC coupler and filter caps you can most likely put an 8580 on it instead. Good luck!

About the boards, they are still here and collecting dust, and no one seems interested in working on gathering part kits for them at the moment. I regret having announced this so early, because this project will probably have to take a natural hobby course without any set dates. Those who have expressed interest will be kept updated either here or if you send me a mail (actually, a list of interested people would probably be a good kick in the butt for everyone involved).

I'll take some pics if I get it all together. oh, and is that really a 6501? or did he typo it for 6581?

Any news with this, Linde?

The (unpopulated) boards are here, but a couple of other projects seem to be taking priority at the moment (arduino midi/dac/analog filter shield, lcd drivers).

I will be going for the PCB+surface mounted component kit so don't forget to post when you have this set up!

My friend has just ordered a bunch of PCBs and some components for these. The plan is to sell them either by by just the PCB (~25 EUR), PCB and a surface mounted component pre-soldered + some odd DC-DC coupler (~40 EUR) or pre-built ( ~200 EUR, with a custom laser-cut wooden case, without SID). We'll set up an ebay store or something once the boards and components have arrived, and until then, nothing of this is really "final." smile.

Great news!  I wonder if two of these could be used in a stereo configuration for soft that supports it.
