Hiya Folks!: I posted awhile back seeking leads on an old C-64 upon which to begin numerical experimentations in the field of algorithmic composition. I have closed a deal and should be receiving a cpu and a disk drive in the mail soon. But until that time I have been think- ing about some hardware problems. Please help with your advice if you can. AUDIO OUTPUT: I want to be able to feed the audio output of the commodore into a chessy little bass amp (which, by the way are great for small synths) and I would like to know the best way to seperate the audio signal at the audio/vidio jack or wherever. SID CHIPS: Is it possible to tie several more SID chips into the CPU, mapping their registers to some free memory location? Has anyone tried this? What are some good sources of info on this sound chip? VIC20: The gentleman whom I am purchasing the used '64 is most graciously throwing in a VIC20 w/ datasette. Can anyone think of some good uses for this thing? This be my first komputor. I guess it's the first for many people. -Michael Hicks

Just about any monitor cable you buy will separate the video port signals into Luminance, Chrominance, and Audio. Just run the Audio line out to your amplifier, and you're all set. > SID CHIPS: > Is it possible to tie several more SID chips into the > CPU, mapping their registers to some free memory > location?

Unfortunately their address has escaped me. > VIC20: > The gentleman whom I am purchasing the used '64 is most > graciously throwing in a VIC20 w/ datasette.
