C16 users should upgrade to 64K - I'm thinking about doing a web page on this operation. It really does open up many extra oppurtunities (as well as being an easy and "fun" mod to do).

I do - if I want to hear SID music I'll load up one of my 28 (at last count :-) C64s, or maybe SIDPlay (although the ADSR emulation on that isn't quite right).

TED music has a certain style all of its own, and I get really pissed off when I run silent demos which say "SIDcard only". Some of the music I've heard on plus/4 is really impressive - I still can't believe it's that cute little brown box pumping out the noise. It certainly sounds a lot better than C64 sampled music ($d414), perhaps the "inferior" capabilities of TED lead to more creative composing and programming!

Richard.
