Project SIDFX (formerly known as SIDFIXER)
Sorry for spamming you all, but regarding the DUAL SID hardware module SIDFX:
I mailed all PRE-ORDER contacts tuesday and I still miss a reply from 33% of you... please check your spam folder/email if there is any mail from sidfx-preorder@kick-ass.dk (16th december)
Thanks in advance.
There will be a registration site up shortly... so if you didnt pre-order/registrate already, you can also just mail me directly on the sidfx-preorder@kick-ass.dk mail address.
Cheers and merry X-mas to everyone! |

Quote: This is so amazing!
Within a few days, we have gone above 200 pre-ordered units, so now we will try to see if we can reach an even bigger batch size!
If we succeed, we might be able to squeeze the unit-price a little down.
I am SO happy to see the amount of support for this product. Really amazing!
http://sidfx.kick-ass.dk if you know others who havent signed up yet.
Yay \o/
That is very good news indeed!!!
You guys did a stellar job on this! |

UPDATE: We have reached 250 units and counting!
Reloaded: Lotus is currently designing an adapter for mounting it inside a C64C chassis if you have ZIF sockets on your Reloaded, as that will be too tight to fit with the current placement of the SID socket on the Reloaded.
This will be optional for a small extra fee for those who insist on using a Reloaded in a C64C chassis.
I have had several people offering me options on how we can test with a Reloaded board to make exact measurements, so I hope to get this done in near future. |

For those of us who already pre-ordered via email, and provided shipping address etc., do we also need to pre-order on the website? |

no, I started by importing all the old pre-orders from various lists build up over the years (parties etc)
But I will soon be sending a survey to those who have pre-ordered for details, so make sure the email you used when pre-ordering before the website, is still the right one.
If in doubt, either use the pre-order form with same email (it will update and confirm) or just mail me on sidfx-sales@kick-ass.dk and I will check your email and details.
If you have specifed a quantity, country and used a working email, I am happy. :-) |

Btw. if I have forgotten to tell about it, I have also made a Facebook page for it, so you can easily follow updates on it.
The link is in the bottom of the website too.

Thanks for looking into the C64reloaded option! I for one am using that as my main and mod machine in the new C64C case. |

Congrats for *finally* my STEREOinSID made it to denmark :D
It's a long time, somebody deleted my hardware from here.
Thanks :P |

thinking this has anything to do with "your" STEREOinSID is just silly |

Quoting ScarzixReloaded: Lotus is currently designing an adapter for mounting it inside a C64C chassis if you have ZIF sockets on your Reloaded, as that will be too tight to fit with the current placement of the SID socket on the Reloaded.
That's good news. But what about other motherboard versions, have those been measured/considered? I mean the SID socket is located even further below the keyboard in many motherboard models. For example will SIDFX fit into C-case with 250407 mobo?
I would see it more of an issue with the emergence of new C-cases than the Reloaded board. (People are motivated to install whatever models to C-case). |

As I have been told, Lotus and Devia spend a lot of initital time on messureing all the different motherboard types, to make sure this product fits within each of them. That is: which components surrounds it (height and width issues), how far is it from all 4 sides (what is the topmost length needed for cables to reach the edge of the chassis, so people can drill holes on any side they want for the switches and audio out) etc.
so as far as I know they also designed it to be as flat as possible to fit below the C64C keyboard and I have mounted it in several C64C's and it has been no problem so far.
But let me get to you on this specific model, to be absolutely sure?
(I expect, I know the answer already, but I wanna give you the best possible answer I can get)
Hope thats acceptable. |
