More arrivals

Another 2 packages today. The first one is the 3 motherboards I bought on ebay the second is the important one, the 10 6582A SID chips!
All of them brand new old stock and manufactured in the same week, week 23 of 1992.
The 6582 SID chip is by most considered to be the best and most stable SID, with the bet signal to noise ratio, made by MOS and CSG. Though there is something to be said for the less stable nature of the 6581 as its the original character of the SID sound and is the most widespread. Unfortunatly though recovered SIDs often have faulty oscillators or filters.
The 6582 was never released in production c64s, they were a replacement part.

Flickr blog posting still isnt working so you can head over to flickr to check out the pics, heres a bit of SID porn for you....
