Cool - clicks and pops ! - sorry ;)

>>  I'm not sure what is 
wrong with the chip that is in it now, but it produces noises that have 
only a faint resemblance to what they should (read as clicks and pops 
instead of tones).

Hehe, don't get me wrong, I will NOT be tossing the "bad" SID chip, but 
will in fact be giving it a new home in my collection of other glitch toys 
and circuit bent projects.

I actually have some mics on the SX64 right now for recording the 
non-linear glitch noises coming out of it (you should hear the madness that 
good ol' "S.A.M." talker produces).  :-)

Wow...the memories!

try this variation on an old C64 stunt:
        
10 POKE 54272+INT(RND(1)*25),INT(RND(1)*256) : GOTO 10

I wonder what noises the 1541 makes???  That disk drive is so fucked up....

Warning, further C64 blabber follows...

Hehe.  I actually wrote a bunch of silly apps in assembly a few years ago 
to do this type of thing in a more controlled (controllable?) way.  I've 
picked the idea up, dusted it off, and decided to persue it again (which is 
the whole reason I'm trying to get my old SX64 working again in the first 
place).

This time around I'm using the cc65 C cross-compiler under Linux to save 
some development time (I'd love to do my assembly coding on the C64, but it 
takes forever).  http://www.cc65.org/   Plus it is super cool to write C 
code in Emacs under Linux, compile it, and send the results straight out to 
an attached 1541.  :-)

Hehe, theres nothing in the world like that machine gun clack of the 
stepper moter hitting the end of its range (during formatting, and as part 
of lots of copy-protection schemes).  Tiz another thing that the mic has 
been pointed at.  ;-)
