Hi Michael n' all..

I haven't seen any non-commercial projects revolving around the SID.  There 
is the
<a href="http://www.sidstation.com">sid station</a>, but it's a pricey 
commercial box.

The best place that I've seen for technical info on the SID is 
<a href="http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/%7Ee9426444/sidpage.html">this guy's page</
a> 

Regarding availability, the sid is no longer manufactured, but they're still 
pretty easy to get, at least in my experience.   Where I am (ABQ, nm, USA), 
you can't swing a dead cat around your head in a thrift store w/o hitting a 
C64 or C128.  To that end, I purchased a C64 for $5 with the intention of  
doing some DIY sid projects.  If I get anything going, I'll post to the 
list...

Hope this helps!
