And who would be happier for that? Also, remember that 90% of the
development time for the SidStation has been the OS. The SID-chip is
really basic. Many people think that LFO's, tables etc are native
functions of the SID-chips. They're not. If you're supposed to get
anything interesting out of a simple chip as the SID there is a lot of
thinking and work to get it right.

The eound emulation of SidPlay and Resid aren't that special. The filter
is a very simple one that is nothing like the actual SID-filter.
