4 times, so the addresses $1400 $5400 $9400 $D400 are accessing the same byte in memory, and it's completely legal to access those adresses,
actually the Kernal depends on that, this is how it figures out how much RAM you have in your machine....
Just don't put any code to those areas where the SID registers are,
and you're safe to use a SID converter....
