As the original monitor is removed, there is plenty space there
fine, but this way you can not easily swap SD-cards....
Did you even read the post? In there I described the uSD extension cable, which is placed in the glovecompartement. If you look carefully on the main picture you see it also..

great work! where did you place the SD2IEC in your SX64
As the original monitor is removed, there is plenty space there. I strapped it to the metal. It looks kinda lost

Not totally 'heute gebastelt', but today I finallyfinished the blogpost about my SX64 which I have modded 'a bit'
it was a journey of multiple years and did cost a relationship but here it is: Vintage Executive computer pulled in the next century | smdprutser.nl
The SX64 features the common mods like the TFT conversion, internal SD2IEC, multiple Kernal and DOS ROMs, but also some more advanced ones like a switchless KERNAL/DOS switcher, nice status display, internal Magicdesk and an expansion that gives the internal 1541 flexibel RAM and ROM Combinations (regular CBM DOS, Jiffydos, 64'er, Speeddos and Dolphin DOS (and their variants) supported).

As always, pictures or it didn't happen.

Dunno if the purpose is programming, but I did something like this for qfn chips: https://smdprutser.nl/blog/ghetto-qfn32-zif-adaptor/ and someone else made this for QFP chips: https://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?threads/80456/
What I learned is that a good socket is well worth its money (if it isn't a one off) but it is doable.

From my experience most if not all do work.
The problem (with all/most) chips from Aliexpress or eBay is they sand the markings off pulled chips and repaint and remark the chips so they all look brandnew. They also tend to mark the chips as the fastest speed available to get more money for them. So you can have weird issues because chips are operating out of spec. In my experience also European and US sellers (can) have refurbished chips. If you can order from reputable sources like mouser or digikey please do as they are as advertized. Even LCSC suffers from suspicious chips, i posted this on twitter https://twitter.com/SMDprutser/status/1720177005717524624
To know if it is repainted try a cottonswab with a solvent and rubb the top of the chip. Acetone works best

I had simular issues which where caused by a bad contact with the VIC-II and its socket. Try pressing/holding it down and see if the problem persists

Someone has the software as I can't find it on the net/f64 wolke?
There is at least a listing:
https://archive.org/details/ra…ctronics_1988-05/page/n85
the listing isn't much readable (also checked other sources). Prolly best is to start from scratch and give me an opportunity to learn ASM

While waiting for parts to arrive to pimp my sx64 more, I started working on an IC tester. I designed the PCB some time ago, but soldered it recently and it did work without any errors in the PCB, only in my crappy software (my C64 basicskills are a bit rusty after 40 years). Design is based on Jim Barbarello as featued in may 1988 issue of radio electronics.

with my crappy testprogramm for a 7400:

Final goal (if I cant find the software) to write the program in asm

Ich habe heute mein verhunztes Gehäuse aus Post #30.698 fertig lackiert und repariert. Die Tastatur ist vom C16. Beim Transport ist der Tastaturstempel der F1 Taste gebrochen.
Sind das die gleichen wie beim C64 Brotkasten?

Nice job. Any tips on spray painting the old plastics? I'm tempting to paint some of one my yellowed Amiga 2000's, but a bit afraid of doing it wrong.
Can you for example remove (excess) paint with a mild solvent, like alcohol just moments after spraying and retry it later?

Thanks for attaching the partypack 
X was a great party and well organized.
-
You think it wil be enough? 
-
I'll be there too. Been ages I went to a party
-
It does help a bit, but i also want to know for example the checksum of the original dolphin or speeddos as there are many variants.
-
I found this (but doesn't answer the question about what is original version (if any :))
Diagnostic 586220 modding (Kernal ROM checksum and other fixes) - World of Jani It needs the real c64 to run (or vice)
Have you take a look on our F64-Cloud? I think you will found there what you want. If not, use Google, i can´t set a link here because copyrigths .
I've several kernal collection which I'm combining at the moment. If you have more feel free to send them in a PM.
I'll share the list with crc32 and the naming used in the WorldofJani.after I went through, Also make a list with the 1541 ROMs I have.

I don't know if I have the right subforum, but this one seems to be the most apprioprate to me.. Sorry if is the wrong one.
I'm restoring/pimping a SX64 and have designed a kernal switcher for max 64 Kernals which seem to be enough untilll I unpacked all kernals I had on my machine and downloadfolder. I have about 80 unique kernals (checked the crc32 for duplicates). I have for example about 15 speeddos variants, which seems to me only to differ in the startup screen, which was a common thing back in the days.
Is there a list of crc32 (or hashes) of 'original' kernals? I have also the same question about 1541 roms as I also have made a simple version of Megalodos which can change the 1541 ROM/RAM setting.

Von einem zum nächsten Amiga ist es genauso schwer ... Ist wie beim C64, kein Plastik war gleich dem anderen ...
Ich hab damals zwei Blenden von einem alten PC genommen und lackiert 
How did get the right colour paint? I have several browned amiga 2000's i'd ike to paint the right colour.

I don't have issues with the KFF in my SX64 regardless of the cable to the expansion port.
Are you using the right version, e.g. pal or ntsc? Also try loading the latest version of the firmware onto the KFF.
-
OK, gewonnen.
Dieser Hardwarenachbau ist mir völlig unbekannt und ich habe ab 1995 alles an Hardwarenachbauten/Entwicklungen für den C64 gesammelt und auf CDs gebrannt.
Letztes Jahr hatte ich dann alles auf 25GB M-Disc (Blurays ohne organische Bestandteile) gebrannt. Der Nachbau hat sich wohl aufgrund des PCB und der anderen Komponten nicht gelohnt.
Zudem bezahlte man zu der Zeit ja auch keine Märchenpreise, bei dem man denken muss, ist das PCB mit goldenen Leiterbahnen bestückt oder lagert der Motor auf Rubine, Zwecks Verminderung der Reibung.
Are you planning to release those info? I recently rediscovered my 64 and love to have more hardwareprojects for it..

can you post also pictures from the side?
Sehr tolles found!
