I had a spare one, but due to an accident, all the pins got squashed and some of them broke :-(

Doesn't really help you, i know. Are you after them for catweasels?

Shame, don't really want to be repairing pins:-( I am after them for multiple reasons, Catweasels being one of them. SID chips are the most sought after of the old C= chips. As a matter of fact I just sold a couple off and now I realise I need 2 for myself :-/

Fairly easily.  Could even do it in CPLD.

From what I can tell, the only issue with cloning a SID is the analog filter, namely SID's filter is a hack put on the last moment.

If you can opt for an external filter, wouldn't take long to clone SID at all.

So what is the SID anyway? just a couple (3?) ocilators and a filter? I could knock one up on a breadboard in an evening!!! :-)

It is:

3 tone occilators
3 Envelope Generators
3 Amplitude Modulators
4 mixers
1 Filter
A volume control
and the analog converter.

yes, a simple breadboard could do it.

Did it have preset wave forms?

It would have been pretty cool if some of that had found its way into paula, eh?

Can you imagine the fun pumping samples through  a resonant filter? Man, that would have been awesome for tracker types.

Hmm, anybody remember musicline?
