After having a terrible time trying to get decent results from toner-transfer paper, I’ve decided to look into sending out to have some Quad SID boards made. Last time I posted about it, there was a decent amount of interest in it. I noticed that http://www.futurlec.com/ seems to have the best prices I’ve seen for small quantities. If I order ten, the price would be about $36 per board. How many of you are interested in a group buy?
i’m interested. but i’m not sure yet.
same as kokoon here. To be intrested i have to sell my quad sid to build a new one. But if i sell it it will unchain a flame war here. So i have to think this over.
Although the first order would be priced at US$5 per sq. inch, subsequent orders are US$2.50 per sq inch. Pretty good deal for small runs. Don’t know how how shipping would be to Europe, but probably not much.

I might be intrested. What are the benefits of having a quad sid board instead of 4 seperate ones? I’m guessing smaller size and a few wires less, anything else?
That site looks good. I think I’ll seriously consider them for my projects.
Benefits: yes, you get a smaller board, a lot less wires, and a small mixer that mixes the four outputs to one mono output. I considered adding DIN and DOUT functionality, but that got messy. Mounting those directly behind the control panel seems cleaner anyhow.

So your design only consists of the 4 sid’s and 4 cores?
How about psu attachment?
just found another c64 in a junk heap today, so its getting to the point where i will have enough sids soon that i’ll be interested too…
keep us updated.
