SID 6581 in on-board free EPROM socket?

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!


I found old C128 flat motherboard.


There was in free EPROM socket (U36) inserted MOS 6581.
Seems it that this mainboard used two SIDs for STEREO SID?


It seems unreal, but what's the function of SID in U36 socket?


Many thanks for every reply.


Cheers,


Miro

No, that sounds impossible.  I can't see how a 6581 can function in the empty socket of a C128.  Someone must have put that extra SID in there, because he/she didn't know what to do with it (or wanted a place to store it).

As the MPU's R/
