timeline of SID achievements

I'm looking for a timeline of SID achievements. Does this exist? A list of important software (trackers and non-trackers, midi-sequencers and midi-slaves, sample-players and "drum machines", generatives, remix-tools, etc) and SID-tricks (playing digi-stuff, multispeed, hardrestart, etc). Who, where, when, how, why. I think a timeline over these things would be important to put together, if it doesn't already exist.

(I work on a timeline of chip music in general here: chipflip.wordpress.com/timeline. It is far from finished, of course. Suggestions are very welcome)

I thought they were only covers of Whittaker's songs played thru the pc speaker, not actual sids.

*afaik* they are actually (poorly) emulated.

unpacked yo.exe, no sidfile or 6502 code in it.

The only pc production I know that uses an actual sid file and a simple emulation is turrican32k by farbrausch, I know about it because I've ripped it and sent to HVSC some year ago =)

Well, that stuff may be relevant too. I was, however, rather thinking of particular findings about the detailed workings of the SID, such as the one referred to here, which consists in the documentation of a slight difference between the 6581 and the 8580:

Then again, this sort of details are perhaps not really considered "breakthroughs" or "milestones"...

At least mathematica did it ~2 years before that, and I don't think it was the first either
