While I was trying to add an external SD2IEC device to my third Mssiah C64 I stumbled over the issue that this particular C64 was fitted into a C16 case and the external SD2IEC wouldn't fit due to the different openings of the case. So I decided to swap the Kerberos/Cynthcart C64 against this Mssiah C64. Cynthcart works better with 8580 SIDs and for, especially, the Mssiah Monosynth, I prefer the crunchy 6581R4AR SID. To reconfigure the Mixsids and to swap the SIDs appeared too time consuming so I simply swapped the Mixsids between the two boards, added the external SD2IEC device to the now Mssiah C64 and voila, mission completed :)
The wiring of the C64 in the second picture may look a bit confusing and the main reason is that I have routed the Analog In of the SIDs to two sockets located in the side panel to use them externaly for, for example, a feedback loop. A function that may create interesting noises while working with the filter in Mssiah Monosynth but something I have used very rarely.
So this whole setup is coming together very nicely and I even found some time every now and then to start to use it actually ;)
