Yo MidiBox Peeps!

I just started working on this page, but it will be the future home of the boards and designs I have made over the course of making my own projects. You can also visit my [[http://www.moocowproductions.org|website]] for stuff regarding my MidiBox projects, other hobbies, and my random blog posts about nothing :)

===== Projects =====

  * [[mb-sidr8tr:start|MB-SIDR8TR]] - Rackmount MidiBox-SID using the MB-6582 baseboard with customizations housed in a 3U rackmount chassis.

===== Boards =====

All these boards (and schematics) were created with the free version of [[http://www.cadsoft.de/|EagleCAD]]. Some designs have been marked up with some custom layers requires for [[http://www.batchpcb.com/|BatchPCB]] (specifically the silk-screening process). I'm always open to ideas if you know how to make the designs better! Otherwise, they are here for the taking to do with as you please. I only ask that you give credit where credit is due if you plan on making your own modifications. This is just a request, however, and isn't required :)

==== C64 Optimized PSU ====

This board is a re-creation of the power section of the [[http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_8xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdf|C64 Optimized PSU]] schematic from ucapps. The nice thing is that it's quite tiny, although the regulator may tend to get hot my original design didn't account for adding a heatsink. For small setups, though, it should work.

Details about this board can be found on [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11936.0.html|this]] forum post. I'll eventually add the schematics and board layout as a direct download from my website.

==== BankStick 7-1 ====

I built this board partly because I was having trouble building it on a prototype board. I based it off of the BankStick x8 schematic available from ucapps with minor modifications. I call it 7-1 because 7 chips can be placed on the board itself, with an optional header to make it possible to hook up an external BankStick.

The only problem I ran into with this board was that my design rules didn't exactly match those from BatchPCB and, as a result, my ground plane was split. It was easy to fix, however - I just soldered a wire from the GND of one of the chips to the GND on my DIL header. Since it's on the bottom, the aesthetics are preserved, although if I end up making another one of these you can bet I'll be fixing that ;)
