SID A/D conversion (POT-X, POT-Y)

Hi everybody,
I'd like to find some information about the proper usage of the analog inputs of the SID. I'm trying to do some audio acquisition for CD, microphone, ect. into the pot-x pot-y inputs of the SID. Do I need any special hardware between the audio source and the SID input (joystick port pin 5 and pin 9)?

thanx,
Ready.

@Raf: are you sure about reading a nibble? As far as I know using the pot-x / pot-y, the SID converts a 0-5 V signal into 0-255 digital value (8-bit).

Anyhow, my doubt is how did samplers based on the SID A/D converters (joyport inputs) manage to do a decent sampling? From my experiments I get quite crappy results, caused by (I suppose) the slowness of the A/D conversion.

Better to sample on something like a PC, resample, process and then place on the c64.

there were no samplers that used the sid a/d converters, because like you said, they are too slow.

I mean there are 5 data lines connected to joyport. there is even something like fake hrdsid driver - PC connected with C64 by LPT to joyport cable.
