Hi Crisp,

just attach the schematic to this thread

Best Regards, Thorsten.

As I am also in email contact with Swinkel he is going to put everything together on his Site so you can grab all files there in a few days.

He also informed me about the new Firmware which is a real Hammer :o so stay Tuned and keep watching his Site.

I am also posting for the C64 Freaks in the german www.forum-64.de board for the Computer Part which was the original intend for this chip

but as synth in a Midibox it is also a perfect choice an may save many c64’s live ;D

Soon there will be some more Soundexample of Real SID Tunes Compared to the SwinSID.

hello..

so based on the SwinSid schematic the mbsid module does not need 9 / 12 volt suply .

and SwinSId does not have an audio input.

correct me if I am wrong..

thanks

B.R

sorry for my english

Yes, 5V is sufficient for the whole hardware, and an Audio In is not provided

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I can’t seem to get to the SwinSID web page - anybody else having the same problem? Is there another website with the info?

Thanks…

This one: http://www.swinkels.tvtom.pl/swinsid/ ?

I’ve been reloading it daily since this

so stay Tuned and keep watching his Site.

No problems…no news yet though

Yes, 5V is sufficient for the whole hardware

this is the greatest plus for me!

Here are the PIC of a DualCore SwinSID, I just piggypacked the 2 AVRs on Top of eachother and

so it is very easy to connect em both… of course I used a Socket on the underlaying AVR so

I can flash em individually when new Firmware shows up, last Firmware was from 1. May evening ;D

which now sound very very close to the original even the pitch matches and the noise generator also

stryd_one · May 3, 2008, 12:05pm

Thanks for the pics man!

last Firmware was from 1. May evening ;D

I must be looking in the wrong place, because the page hasn’t been updated… Where are you going for these?

crisp · May 3, 2008, 12:11pm

Just ask Swinkels himself and he sends it to you… he is also currently working on his new site as he said to me… but I don’t know when this will be ready…

or I put it here, I hope it is ok?!

yeh, thanks!

A tip for next time: You can attach files to your posts here, so no need for rabidshare

Foona · May 4, 2008, 12:19pm

I concure, rabidshare doesen’t work for me.

Hello everybody,

I’d really like to build this one (finally got the 16f88). Could someone please tell me if it is possible to burn the 16f88 with JDM?

I’ve seen http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_burner_16f88_adapter.pdf, but,

Is that adapter specifically made for MBHP_Burner, or can it be used with JDM?

I’d thank very much anyone who could confirm me this before I start building the module, which I want to incorporate to my MidiBox64.

Pablo.
