But EUR 20,-  for a SiD?!? Ain't that a bit steep? You can practically find C64 in trashbins and salvage SiDs from that....or not?

Not it is NOT steep. very fair IMO from a legit company. Chances are these are NOS (new old stock) chips, not used.

Well, sombody has to locate the C64s in the trashbins, rip them apart and desolder the SID chips... That's what you pay for, I guess.

That's not very likely. If you read the product disription this card uses other original C64 components also, and Individual computers have a healthy stock of them. Chances are they have a good stock of new SID chips also. Raping old trashed C64s would not go very far!

I must say this new board is too cool for words! I will be buying at least one, probably more! :-)  :-)

This board makes me curious.... it's got a Zorro interface on one side, and a pci on the other... I wonder if it's possible to plug it into a zorro slot, then access a pci card on the other side from the Amiga? Could be a cheap way to get a fairly good graphic card in a 2000...

No way, there is no PCI controller built in it. Your best bet would probably be a second hand Picasso II or Spectrum.
