USB and small for touring. the SID chips have a very high noise floor, 
but the noise and artifacts are very interesting (6581). the 4U i think 
goes to great lengths to reduce unwanted noise. it also produced some 
really mean sounds. if you buy 4 SID chips, that's 12 voices. 
unfortunately, the euro-dollar conversion is crazy now, so the 300 euro 
version will set you back over $500 without SID chips.

SID chips are literally extinct last time I checked.

fetch quite a price on ebay.....and no guarantee that they function.
