Good stuff. I thought that would be a bad thing too. I only use my kerberos cart in a single sid 64c. And ...laziness. the first rule. it's easier to do nothing than to do anything. I'm still trying to put it all together. 
The guy said soon, so hopefully there will be some of those midi interfaces available. His ebay listing says the sid cart is cool with cynthcart64.
Good call on current draw. Thanks. I've seen a power supply with extra amperage.
Sometimes ideas are only good ideas...

E-mail bennvenn, his site is showing sold out, but he probably has them. Check nonfinite electronics for $40 ems carts.
Keep using the pc, then transfer your songs to a cart.

Could be, 4mat... I know jack squat about code.  I do need to make an effort to learn some. At some point, I will jump in software end of the pool. Any pointers on the best/easiest entry points to coding that will help me? I have collected a few books, advanced machine language, assembly, and programmers reference guide for c64. But, I've barely skimmed through those...
But I come from the hardware side of music, and I love modding electronics.  And at some point, you have to have 2 to 3 sids hooked up in a machine if u want to hear dual, or triple sid software sing out of a c64.  Sid2sid is easy enough to make two, plus another In this cart has to be the easiest way to put in three without making ur own perf/pcb...
I've just started in with a c64 in the last 4 months. Trackers too. So, there's been a lot of googling and tracking down leads, discovery, and hair pulling trying to sort it all out. It's worth it when I get to make noise though.
Does anyone know if u can get the computer to see a sid in the cart slot and address it to $D420 & $D500?  I understand the dualSID has a logic chip to set up the parameters and then u wire it to the kernal rom and it spits out the right address which u wire to the sid and then it exists at these addresses. Can that happen with this from the cart slot too?

I checked the download link for cynthcart version 2. It opened a page of text with blocks. Is that the disk image or something? Not sure what I'm seeing.
I could not do anything with code unless it was messing it up. Computers...sigh.
I need to use sid number 2 at $DE00 for mssiah. I need to make this sid switchable to $D420 for stuff on kerberos cart. Sid wizard has a two sid version on there. And a lot of sids use $D420.
It looks like switchable sid registers are done deeper inside the machine, and requires using one of these dual 1 of 4 decoder/demultiplexer chips to make the mpu send ttl signals to pin 8 on the sid...I think...
Everything about getting,finding out what's working or not, and learning to use a c64 has been a bad trip. This seems to be the next chapter of my saga.
If anyone is looking for the answer to a mouse for mssiah, I found it in the micromys v4. U just pop it open and pull a jumper and it boots in c64 mode. You use any old ps/2 mouse you like.

Ha! Thanks. Yes, sexy stuff. That is amazing.  So, it's a hardware extension to allow for extra sound choices, like a stack of synths and a midi contoller (rough analogy), or does It make more voices available at once? Is this crazy stuff from the early days, or is this something for the super advanced beings from another dimension? Any good links to a quantity of music from this stuff? 
And that sega doom tower is sticking waaay up out of the console! I almost wish I had meant that.
