Closed Commodore 64/128 6581 or 8580 SIDS Swinsid

Do these run on 12 or 5v?

the originals run on 12 or 9 volts,so as the seller is saying you have to state which one to buy,i would say either depending on sid to be replaced.

My intensions are not to use this in a C64, but for testing purposes in developing my own computer that I am busy engineering. Preferably I would choose an 8580 variation, but the only difference is in the hex file burned to the internal eeprom.

According to the "publicly" available SwinSID schematic which has a pass-through for an actual SID chip, +12v or +9v (vdd) respectably is only used on the actual SID chip and from what I can see in the official SID pinout, +5v is also available as vcc. I can safely assume that vdd is simply ignored in these versions and only vcc is used.

I have answered my own question.

I will have one once i know what sid chip i am getting as I have bought a C64C although I think its the newer sid in those. I just hope its in a socket.

Any test files available? The ones from earlier in the thread are dead now.
Must be mono and recorded from a real C64.

I found some online, but they demonstrate stereo SID and use extra features not in a real SID. The ones on youtube are recorded from a TV with a camera, so sound quality is lousy.

Arrived safe and well packaged. Feedback left.

I'm interested in a 6581 if you have one left.

here is "Lightforce" http://www.streamfile.com/myid/irs8pVjJNamu

and "Parallax" http://www.streamfile.com/myid/e34zq93hrw6B

I was interested in hearing what this chip did, but I'm getting '404 page not found' errors with these links.

Received it today, feedback left.
Thanks!

Thanks! Hope you like it as much as I do.

I don't think I'll use it in my C64, but it could be fun to build a synth around it (like a sidBox). The pulse waves are not very good when I compare them to my 6581R4AR, but the other waveforms are decent. I certainly like how quiet it is!

Thanks! Hope you like it as much as I do.
