Commodore VIC 20 MOS 6560 / 6561 Audio Video Booster Adapter VIC-20 VC-20 VIC-1001
This solution improves audio and video quality by reducing noisy signals.
It requires extensive modification of the motherboard.
PCB thickness 1.2mm, Size 56 x 22 mm
BOM list https://www.digikey.com/en/mylists/list/4MNH3MYZ36
Modification list:
The MOS6560/6561 must be desoldered and socketed.
The following components must be removed from the motherboard:
- R8, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R27, R40, R41(or FB8)
- C8, C9, C10, C11, C13, C17
- Q1, Q2
- FB7, FB10
- P4
The following components must be replaced with new part numbers (see the BOM list):
- C11 (an audio capacitor with improved value)
- P4 (it may require drilling holes)
- FB10 (to replace with a resistor in order to minimize jail bars)
- C8 (to replace with two capacitors in parallel in order to minimize jail bars)
Connection scheme:
Connect 6560/6561 adapter pin 2 (CHROMA) with a wire to DIN8 pin 6.
Connect 6560/6561 adapter pin 3 (LUMA) with a wire to DIN8 pin 1.
Connect the 6560/6561 CVBS header connector (COMPOSITE) with a wire to DIN8 pin 4.
Connect 6560/6561 adapter pin 19 (AUDIO OUT) with a wire to C11 (positive terminal) and then DIN8 pin 3.
DIN8 pin 7 is not connected (floating).
DIN8 pin 8 connects to +5V (or floating).
DIN8 pin 2 connects to GND.
DIN8 pins 4 and 5 must be separated cutting the trace (bottom side).
DIN8 pin 1 must be separated from +5V cutting the trace (top side).
