Here's a photo of another project I'm working on.

Hehehe, yeah I call it the Stereophonic-SID cartridge :)

There's a jumper and DIP switch that allows you to select any of the following addresses:
$DE00, $DE20, $DE40, $DE60, $DE80, $DEA0, $DEC0, $DEE0, $DF00, $DF20, $DF40, $DF60, $DF80, $DFA0, $DFC0, $DFE0.
Maybe I should make a 16 SID cartridge  :förvånad: .... only joking

Most Stereo SID players only support $DE00 for cartridge based stereo SIDs. Any suggestions on what players I should use for testing?

I believe the Prophet64 cartridge also uses $DE00 for the second SID. That's the reason I added the cartridge pass through slot so that the Prophet64 and Stereophonic-SID can be used at the same time. No need to stuff around with SID2SID boards. But I've had no luck sourcing a Prophet64 cartridge so I'm unable to test this setup but I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. I'm using an octal bus transceiver to isolate the SID inputs.

Anyway, I need to redo the 5V to 9V/12V power circuit as the one I had produced way to much interference due to a dodgy component from China. Works great with a 9V battery. ;)

By the way, I will not be including SID chips with this product.

StereoPlayer 10.3 by Mark Dickenson is my favorite program to use.  It supports $DE00 and $DF00 for the second SID chip.  You can find out more about this program and download it from this website (http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/stereo-sid/).

Sure, although I haven't set a price for it yet as I'm working out how to best power the SID chip.

Maybe you can hook it to one of these...

Stupid question I know, but... do programs which support stereo generally expect the built-in SID on the left channel and the second SID on the right? Or the other way around?

After getting my Stereophonic-SID cartridge from Mangelore, I now have the answer to this question...  The built-in SID is on the left channel, and the second SID is on the right.
