[sdiy] New SID Chips?

[Kylee Kennedy]

Yes, Eric is right people actually want the earlier more quirky SIDs over
the later revisions...because they aren't perfect.

I would love to see more implementations of the Pokey IC from the Atari, I
have a Pokey Synth in Eurorack and that thing is a joy to everyone I know
that owns it. I use it a ton for metal, lofi, 8-bit percussion.
