	Hiya Folks!:


	I posted awhile back seeking leads on an old C-64 upon which
	to begin numerical experimentations in the field of algorithmic
	composition.

	I have closed a deal and should be receiving a cpu and a disk 
	drive in the mail soon.   But until that time I have been think-
	ing about some hardware problems.   Please help with your advice
	if you can.




	AUDIO OUTPUT:

		I want to be able to feed the audio output of the
		commodore into a chessy little bass amp (which, by
		the way are great for small synths) and I would
		like to know the best way to seperate the audio
		signal at the audio/vidio jack or wherever.


	
	SID CHIPS:

		Is it possible to tie several more SID chips into the
		CPU,  mapping their registers to some free memory
		location?   Has anyone tried this?    What are some good
		sources of info on this sound chip?


	VIC20:

		The gentleman whom I am purchasing the used '64 is most
		graciously throwing in a VIC20 w/ datasette.   Can anyone 
		think of some good uses for this thing?



	This be my first komputor.   I guess it's the first for many people.
