Building and testing a SID chip expansion for the Sinclair Spectrum.
Two of the most infamous computers of the 1980s brought together over music. In this video we attempt to build a SID expansion for the Sinclair Spectrum and try to get it playing a few SID music files.
Massive thanks to SparxUK for kindly donating this project.
Additional thanks to @YawningAngelRetro for letting me hold onto his 128k for this build.
