I'm looking to buy an ICS64 and I would like to see pics of how an SD2IEC is connected to the internal IEC port.

Could those with an ICS64 who have connected an SD2IEC to the internal share some pics please. I'm curious about...

1 - which model of SD2IEC was used.
2 - how it was connected to the port.
3 - how buttons (if any) were passed through to the case.

so far, i am very happy with this PCB, everything works perfect, there's just a little problem. When i start Ghostbusters, i can hardly hear the speech sample, every other sound is ok so far. I changed the sid, but the problem resists. 
I am a little confused, because the sid chip works flawless in another c64 i tried.
Anybody who has an idea ?

Thanks

* The RF modulator. Is it needed, should I fit a de-soldered commodore item removed from a 64 and does it output ~ channel 35 like original commodore 64s?

* The R-L header. Is it intended to connect to a stereo audio jack, should I fit a plug and cable relieving a hole in the RF Modulator shield to get from the header to the case?

* The VIC-II shield. Should I fit it?

I'm waiting on a couple of zenner diodes to drop through my letterbox and I will have finished. I found the ICS64 documentation, build guide and BOMs invaluable and a pleasure to use. They were half the fun of the project.

The ICS64S is an all-new, easy to build (DIY), redesign of the original Commodore 64 computer.

Build your own fantastic new 8 bit machine that can run 100% of the original software, 24 hours a day with zero reliability issues!

ICS64S Features:

• Superior ground planes and trace layout for cleaner signals.
  
• Modernized power supply circuitry with space for TO-220 regulator w/large heatsink or a DC-DC regulator (Recom, CUI, etc).
  
• Ability to use two different pinouts for the DB9 connectors.
  
• Uses original 24 pin CHAR and BASIC ROMs, or 28 pin versions (2764).  Kernal can be 2764, 27128, 27256, or 27512 EPROM (up to 8 different ROM images).
  
• USER PORT power output stability for devices that pulse power (EPROM programmers, digitizers, WiFi modems, relay controllers, etc).
  
• Jumper pads for VIC II power select (6xxx-12v/8xxx-5v).
  
• Improved RESTORE key circuitry (so you don't need to beat on the RESTORE key for it work)!
  
• Internal dual headers connected to joystick pots, for use with MSSIAH, Prophet64, etc.
  
• Internal IEC header (for SD2IEC and other devices).
  
• Reset header (for external reset requirements).
  
• Ability to easily switch between NTSC and PAL by just replacing a socketed crystal, moving a jumper, and replacing the VIC. A change can be done in a minute or less.
  
• Two different size crystal oscillator package options.
  
• Test points for diagnosing voltages.
  
• Composite/Luma/Chroma amplified and filtered video output.
  
• 32MHZ CPU that handles RESET, Kernal ROM switching, OLED screen, LEDs, and monitoring of various lines.
  
• I/O port for OLED screen (for programming and status), serial interface (to update CPU), or any I2C device.
  
• 3 wire RGB LED interface for status LEDs.  LEDs are daisey chained.
  
• IRQ, EXROM, and voltage lines are monitored and shown on different LEDs (or same LED) and/or OLED.
  
• TVS (anti-static) diode protection on the joystick ports.
  
• 3 pin audio port output with solder pad input for 2nd (stereo) SID channel output.
