The cassette is one thing that runs off of the 9VAC.
The internal 12V
DC is another (and that's what the SID needs). So if you provide +5V
and +12V DC to the machine, you can have sound without 9VAC. The TOD
ticker is tapped off the 9VAC, but that's not essential to normal
operations, and in fact, I think you'd have a hard time finding
anything that used the TOD on the CIAs anyway.
