Just noticed that the pre-order page is up at http://sidfx.kick-ass.dk/
Also noticed that the problem with using it on a Reloaded isn't the height, but rather the lever for the ZIF socket, which will end up under the SIDFX board... |

Actually the REAL website is up on http://sidfx.kick-ass.dk at midnight, the current page is only a crappy placeholder - but the registration form works.
You can also follow my videos on:

I uploaded a small test of my winning dual SID tune from the Ambient compo here on CSDB.dk to check how the SIDFX worked with stereo setup. |

sorry for my lame Photoshop skills, but I tried to merge all 4 images of a SIDFX mounted in a ZIF into a single image.
As you can see, the small handle on the ZIF, CAN lock the SIDFX unit tight. |

Oooooh. Nice! Sorry about my faulty conclusion that it wouldn't fit in a ZIF socket. |

A question. How does the SID detection work? Is it somehow failsafe, so that it doesn't blow up a SID by accident? Does it work with the 6582 as well? |

I dont know the exact implementation of the detection scheme, but I am pretty sure it uses a common safe approach that starts with low voltage, checks for response, if none, it goes higher etc. I know these issues were key concerns to the initial development.
so first of all, the SIDFX has to discover which environment its in, I guess... is it in a 6581 or 8580 socket.... then once running, which two or single SID model is mounted in the sockets...
No jumpers, no soldering... just plug it in... |

I just made another little test video, explaning the 4 cables and playing my second stereo SID tune called "Auxillery Love".
Now I will plug-in a 6581R4 and test more stuff with switching SID while the game/demo plays, to hear the differences.

6582 is identical to 8580 except for the printing on the package :) |
