- I doubt it-- sounds more like the monitor if the sound works at all.
- Swapping out the SID certainly wouldn't hurt though.

- Yup, the 6581.

- You're lucky, I had mine cracked open today installing the ramlink
- chip-clip --now there is a project! Both the stinkin CPU boards had to be
- removed to get the 6510 back in there! Anyway, on the long main chip board
- (along the longer end of the case, the right side as you face the screen).
- Near the middle of the board, and near the top of the board, is a 28 pin
- chip marked "6581". That's the one.
