Isn't she pretty?!

After a night of writing BASIC on the thing - with no software beyond the stock ROM, and no storage beyond the datasette - it seemed like a good idea to try VICE out for a bit... At least until my SD2IEC/EPYX cart ships from AU. ;3

Here's the chip that makes my favourite vintage computer sing: Robert Yannes' 6581 'SID' - one of the most amazing computer sound chips of the early 1980s and beyond! This particularly one is just short of 40 years old. #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer #commodore #c64 #mos6581 #sid #8bit #soundchip #macro #macrophotography

Puristen würden natürlich nie und nimmer eine SID-Kopie benutzen. Alle anderen können jetzt auf ein FPGA mit Emulation zurück greifen: http://www.fpgasid.de/ #vintagecomputing #c64 #mos6581 #sid #soundchip #chiptunes
