Thanks as usual, Robert!

I would recommend to anyone who loves the VIC but doesn't hate the 64 either, to read the article about the ongoing FPGA-SID project (page 25). I like when new technology and old technology shake hands! :D

Heh, I'm still waiting for the delivery of SwinSID Ultimates I ordered. :)

Yes, it is another SID repro. However, it is more accurate than ever in its sounding like a real SID. And most importantly for me, the SwinSID Ultimate accepts input signals, just like a real SID. So, the 1351 mouse, the KoalaPad, and other devices that rely on that feature will now work. See
