A few days ago I finished my replacement board with a 6567 for the broken 6566 in my MAX - and it works without any problems!
I built it on a prototype-pcb because I only need one board. It fits directly in the metal-cage of the vic, but you have to leave it open. The 6567 has no cooling now - but I don't use my MAX for long game sessions with radar rat race ;)
In the future I will draw the schematic in eagle and if anybody needs a replacement - just write me...
Very nice! Looking forward to schematics and/or pcb!

Will it work with a PAL VIC-II too?
ReplyDeleteIt should work. You have to change the clock frequency and divider like in the PAL-c64.
ReplyDeleteI converted my US-P500 to PAL with a 6569.
Very nice! please tell me how to get one!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you have a working solution !! I have a MAX but the 6566 doesn't output any image. All clocks IN to the 6566 are fine but CLK0 output (pint17) from the 6566 is not there. I assume the VIC is simply dead. Is there a place i can buy one of these PCB ?
ReplyDeleteHi, Jim Brain made a nice pcb from my design and offers it very cheap in his shop:
