Hi Fellow C64 Advocats! I found a schematic plan for a home built midi interface for the c64/c128 on an ftp site. I am wondering if anyone knows where I could find plans for a homebuilt SID add-on similar to the plug-in cartridge Dr. Evil manufactures. Also, if anyone has had personnal experience the aforementioned cartridge could you drop a line telling me about your degree of satisfaction? Happy T-day. If you know anything, please write back -Michael Hicks

This instruction can be found inside the "stereoplayer.sda" fil. And this file can be found in Milton FTP-site in the directory: "public/download/c64/sids" (I think). However, as the author points out, this task of adding a second SID chip isn't that simple, and it would be not surprising to me that the cost of doing this would come close to just buying the cartridge, this is not including your time and the gurranty of success (the effective cost of building one is always higher that building several -- for one you buy components in quantities).
