SID 6582A
Does anyone know how this chip sounds compared to the other models? It's a 9V version (like the 8580), and it was produced in 1992 mainly.
I have ordered a couple of them, since a guy on E-bay have 100 of them as new old stock. They cost a bit, but hey.. I want one anyways :-)

@Sledge: The one I tested is a 6582A - 2392 25, bottom says: Philippines - NM205N08 - 1200T
@Oswald: :)

Then we have what appears to be the same revision from the same plant :) |

This question is probably a bit redundant or so, since I guess people would say that this thread already gives the answer, but I just want to make really sure.
The 6582 should be in 9v machines, right? |

Right, for machines that previously hosted an 8580. |

6582 sounds EXACTLY THE SAME as the 8580. I did several comparisons, and both chips have EXACTLY the same behaviour (filtercharacteristics, waveforms etc.). I know that the "65xx" marking has a certain psychological effect on people, but believe me:
6582 = 8580
6582 = 8580
6582 = 8580
It's NO "super 8580 which can play digis better". It's NO 6581 RUNNING ON 9V. It can not cure aids and cancer either. ;)
Scrap the markings off a 8580, write "6582" on it with tip-ex, and you have the same effect. This chip has become a much bigger myth than it deserves. And I know it's hard to accept this, since we all want to be excited about this "ultra rare" sid revision. But once again:
6582 = 8580

That was the plan. ;) Because all too often, people pop up with the most "interesting" claims about the 6582, spreading false hearsay, further contributing to the "myth" of the 6582. The 6582 is only a very rare package variant of the 8580. Everyone saying it's different from a 8580 is lying. It's no more different from a 8580 than 2 random 8580's compared to each other. |

it's a bit like a rev a Vic-II chip (gold contacts, ceramic chip): cool to have, but not more useful than other revisions ;_)

Isn't the 6582 a VERY EARLY 8580?
At least you can say you have some sort of prototype-stuff-shit-early-this-or-that?
Not that I care... just helping those out whose dreams have just been shattered ;-) |
