SidKick Pico installation on a C128

Hey so this is kind of a companion video to Captain Commodore's and Reviving Retro's vids on the SidKick Pico. I wanted to dig just a little deeper into wiring the DAC into the machine and talk a little about the pros and cons of this solution.

The few cons aside, this is so far the only aftermarket SID replacement that actually has correct bus timing for the C128 in full 2Mhz mode with the VIC disabled and the VDC doing all the video.

I think the audio quality could be improved with some filtering added to the analog output of the DAC board. I'm not exactly sure how I'll accomplish that yet, but its something to experiment with in the future.

Big thanks to PCBWay for sending me these boards!
