In addition to the SIDStation, there is also the HardSID product. (A totally
different product line, from a totally different company.)

This is a SID synth on a PC card. There is even the "Quattro" model that
accepts up to four SID chips on the same card, and provides a total of 12 SID
voices.

I've never used one, but I have a few old Commodores sitting around, and the
MP3 demos on this site sound interesting...   Maybe I should cannibalize my old
C-64's, and order a Quattro card someday?

Has anyone used this card? Any comments on it?
