 Evie Salomon, creator of the BackBit cartridge and other Commodore

bits (!), has released the BackSID, a replacement for the 6581/8580
SID chip in the Commodore 64/128/64C/128DCR.  BackSID auto-detects
into which Commodore it is installed, and with an upcoming C64
configuration program, the user will be able to customize the
settings and upgrade the firmware.  Not only does BackSID offer good
sound but also supports inputs, like mouse, paddles, and Koalapad.
It does not offer audio pass-through.  For more BackSID details, see

To see Evie’s video presentation of the BackSID, see

 The BackSID is very reasonably priced at $29 US, not including shipping.
