Hi, I'm experiencing an RTC for C64, I need an address to make it visible so
need an address decoder maybe around $D200-$D300, but don't know how to
calculate/make it.
In my C64 there is a dual sid with address decoder built in, it use a 74139
with the following connections:

G1 of 74139 to CS of SID
A1 of 74139 to A8 of kernal
B1 of 74139 to GND
G2 of 74139 to CS of SID
A2 of 74139 to A5 of kernal
B2 of 74139 to GND

how to calculate the addresses that i will find at pins
1Y0-1Y1-1Y2-1Y3-2Y0-2Y1-2Y2-2Y3 ?

thanks in advance

You might have better luck asking this question at www.6502.org, in the
"hardware" section.

Do you know the addresses of the SID(s) (G1/G2) that the 74139 is
addressing?

From that you should be able to figure out the logical addresses on the
outputs as they are usually equally spaced, if that makes sense.

To make a chip "visible", you need to generate _cs/_oe signals for the chip
whenever address bus is driven to a predefined value. While you can of
course process/watch all address lines and react whenever the range is of
what you want your chip to be visible at, much easier approach in machines
like the 64 is to find a chip which has its registers "mirrored" and use
those mirrored addresses (In case of an RTC, I would go for one of the
CIAs). In such case only a few lines have to be processed as the address
for the main chip is already decoded by pla.
