With other words: The 8580 would get too much Voltage and might be
damaged ?
I should take my Multimeter and measure the VCC of the SIDs ..

I have two left hands when it comes to soldering, and would never
try it on my prototype.

However, it sounds reasonable to hardwire the SIDs to not be selected
whenever the CPU is in fast mode.

Come to think of it, is it possible to access the SID in fast mode
on the C128 ?
