I am in need of hardware information on the 6581 sound chip (ie SID in the Commodore 64), in particular the data sheets. I am also possibly interested in getting hold of some 6581s, but have found them somewhat expensive (around 15-20 pounds), which is made worse by the fact that I may want about 8 of them!! Anyone know where I can get hold of these cheap?? (Apart from by cannibalising old '64s!!) Thanks for replies re: MIDI data file format. Marcus Bointon, King's College London.

Marcus Bointon asks about sources and data for the 6581 SID chip... One source is a company called JAMECO in the USA... they list most of the Commodore-64 chips, including the SID ( $12.95 US ). Their order number is (415) 592-8097 (they're in the Pacific Time Zone) They may also be able to supply specifications on the 6581. BobR
