HardSID Quattro PCI user’s guide
Installing the SID chips
Always install perfect / tested SID chips! Using damaged SIDs may damage your card.
Installing SID chips into the card is easy. You can simply plug the SIDs into the SID sockets.
Do it carefully, don’t force the SID because it may cause broken pins!
If you buy your card with SID chip(s) from us, we’ll send it to you configured well.
If you buy it without SIDs, we’ll configure it for four 6581 chips by default.
See the following topics for custom setups:
Supported versions
The HardSID Quattro PCI supports both (6581 and 8580) versions of the SID chip. You can
use up to four SID chips at the same time in any combination (for example: two 6581 and two
8580 chips). There is no problem if you don’t have four chips, the card works even with one
SID chip (also works with two of three SID chips).
The right direction
Please check the SID directions on the picture.
Always install your SID chip(s) in the right
direction or else you may damage the SIDs and your card.
