OK it's a done deal, thanks for your opinions ... I might have a C128 for sale fairly soon then that I can post to the trade forum.

Some people would pay 100 Euro for just the four SIDs!

Don't know how much the card is worth though.

Hey,

an old acquaintance heard that I want to start making SID music on the C128 and he offered me his old HardSID Quattro PCI complete with four SIDs (R2, R3, and 2x R5). This would be a great device for me as I could actually make stereo SID music via MIDI, use more audio channels and also filter external signals easily. I would need to get an XP machine with a free PCI port, but I can probably find one cheap or free.

Now, he offered it to me for 100€ which is around $132 US. Given that a card with two SIDs on it used to cost double that in 2007 I am assuming it's a fair price, but I wanted to check if you guys think the same before I accept his offer.
