This is a project built around making a MidiBox SID in a 3U rackmount case using the MB-6582 mainboard. This is a huge work in progress however feel free to contribute!

This is the current iteration of the panel. It is not final and, in fact, you can likely see a few mistakes here and there.

Here are the collection of boards required to populate the control surface. Since a single-board solution would be quite expensive (starting with the full version of EagleCAD), the design is more similar to the standard C64-based control surface in that various parts of the control surface can be populated using smaller boards.

That said, since the MB-6582R uses the MB-6582 mainboard, the wiring reflects the use of LED and button arrays. The wiring can be found here at the following:

• mb-6582_cs_din_wiring.pdf

Further details can be found on the MB-6582 wiki page.

This is a proposed layout for an LED matrix board to be used coupled with the above panel design. While other boards can likely be made from home using various methods, it might be wise to have this one printed. Schematic and layout are below. Eagle files can be found here. Note that this design currently has the mounting holes up higher than the current design of the front panel. The mounting holes were moved down on the panel so the design was more uniform. Modify per your needs!
