Title: Another SID-driver for the Catweasel
Post by: System on January 21, 2003, 02:51:13 PM

The second Amiga-based SID-driver is a  playsid.library that accesses the SID of the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper directly. At the moment this only works on Catweasel controllers that are plugged in a Zorro slot of an Amiga, support for Clockport-connected controllers will be added shortly.  Playsid plays back a lot of tunes that are known from C64-games and demos.  The probably most famous collection of SID music is the High Voltage Sid collection that contains more than 20000 songs.

Special thanks goes to the brothers Rakesh und Sharwin Raghoebardayal who have adapted the library to the Catweasel in their spare time, and released it as freeware.
