Hallo miteinander,
es gibt wohl seit kurzer Zeit eine weitere Alternative fürs Ersetzen eines 6581 bzw. 8580 SID-Chips. Entwickelt wurde das Produkt von Evie Salomon und nennt sich BackSID.
Ein YouTube Video von Evie gibt es seit einigen Stunden dazu auch
[Externes Medium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhtraERrMNw]
Beschrieben und zum Kaufen angeboten wird das Produkt auf der Webseite https://store.backbit.io/product/backsid/
Description
Replace your missing or broken SID with BackSID™ for Commodore 64/128:
- Acts as fully compatible replacement for the 6581 or 8580 SID chip in all C64 and C128 revisions;
- Sound is faithful to the original SID and gives correct intonation on most classic games;
- Loud, clear, and punchy sound will not disappoint;
- Supports potentiometer reading, allowing proper functioning of paddles, mice and diagnostic harnesses;
- Configurable settings, including overdrive, filter mode, and smoothing;
- Firmware is upgradable by running a program file from your Commodore 64/128;
- Includes round pin socket (not pictured) for soldering to motherboard or as a “buffer” with an existing socket;
- Be very careful when removing BackSID from socket, as it is very easy to bend pins. Recommended removal method is rotating a flat-head screwdriver, alternating from top to bottom, to ease out gently;
- Note: The infrequently used audio passthrough feature is unimplemented.
