HardSID & USB 2.0
Hi,
I'm looking for something like HardSID, but can be connected with USB 2.0 etc.
In this way I real SID-power could be used even on Laptops.

No, and HardSID wrote it's not planned in the near or far future anyway, because I wrote an email to them and asked.
The HardSID is only available for PCI |

But anyway, this would be cool! |

Well, since PCI ports get more rare on newer motherboards, he will be forced to use any other interface type than PCI, like he had to switch from ISA to PCI in past ;) so that he could sell HardSIDs anymore! |

lol. guys, send an email to hardsid, they collect amount of requests. I requested Windows XP 64 bit drivers, and I am the only one requesting them :(
It would be neat if I was not the only one :) |

I use pc64 cable and "fake hardsid" driver to get real sid sound... it costed me few E instead of 100E :)
(un)fortunately it doesn't work on XP but does on 95,98 and 2000 for sure. I even soldered PC64 directly to userport for Phobos/Samar so he can compose on real thing w/o much effort using goattracker. Too bad it requires to load a driver from tape/disk, when I'll finally finish my EEPROM programmer I'm going to make a cart with that driver or sth like exchanging rom inside commie.
also using vice with real sid is nice as it frees CPU power and there is no latency (which in vice is a minimum of 100ms due to buffers size)
PS. don't use 128 for this as it noises a bit too much.

I doubt it will play NTSC tunes correctly and in my eyes, a lot of good tunes are NTSC tunes |

true. it would need to modify clock circuit (hmm.. maybe switchable) to set it to NTSC value. that's not difficult to do it anyway ;-) . to sum up : there is no need to care about 50/60 hz difference in this case as PC is polling commie with proper frequency, but SID itself must be driven at 1.02MHz for NTSC
