Yeah, the SID chips are in demand all by themselves as people yank
them from machines in order to make their own synthesizers based
around the SIDs. I think I even heard that you can't necessarily
create a fully equivalent clone of the chip as the sound will vary
Then there are things like C=64s and VIC-20s
which you can just
"sacrifice" to the crowd knowing that you can always pick up another
one for repairs.
I have lots of parts for those, but know someone who is looking for SID
chips, and I haven't been able to find any at all, lately. Anybody have
some they don't want? from unit to unit slightly due to R/C drift in the
chips!
Most people I know that want SID chips look for either a) cartridges
that had the SID integrated into it to support SID-based sound on
systems that didn't have a SID (VIC-20?), or literally yank them from
extant systems.
In that
scenario I think the most fragile thing would be media, but if you
replace the floppy drives with faked interfaces into IDE/PC storage behind
the scenes, then that concern fades away as well.
Yeah, but then you'd lose the sound effects. :-)
