Product Overview

Designed by Christian Forstreuter, this board adapts a 6567 (and perhaps a 6569) to the 6566 socket in the Commodore MAX Machine.  RETRO Innovations created a compact PCB layout for folks to build the adapter.

Notes

  • Unlike other products in the store, we expect low demand for this item, so it will be produced in small batches once the orders fill a run (10-20 boards).  Thus, if you order the unit, be aware that it could be a while before the order ships.  We recommend not ordering the PCB with other items unless you are prepared to wait for your entire order or you know we have stock on hand.
  • If you are outside of the United States and your order consists solely of unpopulated PCBs, please contact us for cheaper shipping options.

    This board is a miracle

    I thought there was no chance my Max would ever function again. So glad to find out I was wrong. There's no bill of materials, but the part numbers required are clearly labeled on the board. It took me just over an hour with a fine tipped soldering iron to assemble it, and I spent less than $15 for everything except the 6567 (which I already had). I'm very impressed.

    great product, does the job

    Neat little board. The only issue is it's a little too compact, requires good soldering skills and a good quality iron with a small tip and good quality solder

    Does the job but requires good soldering skills.

    This compact board squeezes the components into a very small space so you need a small tipped soldering iron and a steady hand, and I'd recommend a magnifier as well but once done it works well. I chose to socket all my IC's so I had to mount the 6567 in a socket which plugged into two rows of pin headers to bridge the two socketed IC's underneath and I stuck a small copper heat sink to the 6567 to replace the original lid of the can.
