Dial-a-SID

I rebuilt an old bakelite phone into a jukebox for SID tunes. Here's a video about it!

Hi

Lets say I would like to reproduce this without modifying my phone. Would it be possible to make an external box with the extra two buttons to implement the same functionality?

/P

Of course it is possible, but you have to add a circuit to simulate a telephone line with its signals and voltages.

Hi Linus, I don't think the microphone is being used? Speech recognition sounds a bit boring. One could whistle commands down it as a nod to phreaking. Or how about whistling a melody to select a matching chiptune. :-)

I thought the video could have described the Pi's connections to the phone a bit more.

A Raspberry Pi doesn't have any ADC to connect the microphone. You have to add an ADC... or use a Parallax Propeller 2 microcontroller instead: it has (a lot of... =64) excellent DACs and good ADCs and there are SID and 6502 emulators for it.
