It works.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what else to say… What I started a few months ago (with a hefty break in between) as an idea for a single board MIDIbox SID<\/a>, the SIDbox (photo gallery retired)<\/em> has now become a whole, working prototype. It plays SID-type sounds via MIDI, or can also play .SID files when loaded with SID Player software<\/a> which makes it compatible with the SidStation<\/a>‘s ASID protocol.<\/p>\n Now it’s time for me to start working on what will hopefully become the MIDIbox SID-LC. That is, a for-sale kit based on a bunch of the uCApps.de<\/a> designs, in my own implementation.<\/p>\n I only made a few mistakes in this design, even through they were pretty substantial, I was able to work around most of them. If you look at the back of the SIDbox board<\/a> you can see a number of the hardware patches I made. Two of those aren’t needed, I just cut the wrong traces twice and needed to fix things. Oops. I *think* it is all fixed in the current schematic. That will be confirmed another day.<\/p>\n Anyway, here’s that sound file again. It is a SID version of the Airwolf theme, played via this piece of hardware right here<\/a>. Maybe I’m just a dork, but I find these especially nifty. I spent a good part of the night just listening to old SID files from the massive collection at The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC)<\/a> sent to the SIDbox (photo gallery retired)<\/em> by sidplay2\/w<\/a>.<\/p>\n
