Tomi Malinen is currently developing a dual SID board, although there are other solutions available for your C64 this one is interesting because of the ability to use either 6581 or 8580 as SID #2 no matter the board revision.
This means that you can play games with 6581 sound from the first channel and 8580 sound from the second.
Other features of the dual SID board are:
- Small board, only about 40mm x 50mm.
- SID #2 address jumper selectable between D400, D420, D500, DE00, DF00.
- MSSIAH-compatibility at DE00.
- Full game compatibility with double mono setting at D400.
Installation requires soldering, two wires attach to the cartridge port and two have to be soldered to the Kernal IC. When the SID #2 is mapped to D400, D420, D500 the wires to the cartridge port are not used.
