If the VIC drives the bus high, you may fry your VIC when the other chip drives the bus low! Just because this somehow works on the PET (when two I/O ICs are selected at the same time) doesn't mean it is good design and doesn't mean it always works. I made a daughterboard to replace the SID, with the SID on the board again, splitting the $D400 area to $D400-$D5FF for the SID and $D600 to $D7FF for the ACIA (and later the UART) for a serial line interface. Schematics on my homepage http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~fachat/8bit/c64/rs232/index.html (Although the UART version cannot completely be switched off as could have been done with the ACIA - I simply modified the old board and the different CPU interface of the UART made it impossible without larger modification) Andre -- Email address may be invalid.
