Of course, but the 6581 is not ready available. I see some of them on
e-bay, but I read some are defected or fake..

As I see there is a SID clone (FPGA) pin-2-pin compatible, (SwinSID).
I wonder why there is no SID clones available as the patent of SID
expired 4 years ago... (and there are a lot of devices like Catweasel
that they use a SID).

Maybe is too costly to produce a such. In fact I think its possible
(for someone that knows about this) to produce a board (that
resembles the SID) that connects to the SID socket, am I right?
