Quote: I'm a little confused. There seems to be a nice config tool, so are the switches really needed?
I recently got a Reloaded board and went looking for a solderless stereo SID solution for it and found this thread. I have a feeling those clamps wont be able to hold on to the pins of the pin header J13 on the Reloaded. Any chance for a custom version with a suitable connector instead of clamps?
I was wondering the same thing, if that is compatible with the C64 Reloaded can be offering next week .. |

I find it silly that reloaded didn't have 2 sid sockets and silence mods included on board, instead it boasted about being more compatible which doesn't seem to be the case here.
Use your normal c64 board for sidfx. |

I fear the bigger problem with the reloaded boards is to fit them into a new c64 case as it will rise too high and collide with the keyboard and such. so it will most likely just fit old breadbox cases - if any.
so one will actually need some adapter board to connect between the switchable connector sockets and the sidfx.. |

I'm still hoping it will work with the C64 reloaded. Just read this in the comment section for the youtube demonstration video:
Quote:Next and final hardware revision has the coords/cables attached using small "sockets/mounts" like you know them from modern motherboards with LED's and switches. But the point is that you can detach those you don't want to use = less cables in your cabinet.
Should make it fairly easy to connect it to the pin header on the reloaded board instead of using the clamps. If it will fit below the keyboard or not is another question... |

You need to replace the ZIF SID socket with a low profile one if you want to use it in the Reloaded board.Or you have to do a reposition board in between if you want to keep existing ZIF socket. |

I'm going to order a SIDFX anyway, and put it in a different machine if it doesn't fit. I have my reloaded in a C64G case. Don't remember how much space there are between the SID and keyboard though. |

I'm using an acrylic case, I think I'll have no problems with space, I think i have enough height

Looks extremely nice, but can we leave this "reloaded" discussion to some other thread now instead of hijacking the SIDFX thread? |
