I was looking at some old files that I had for my C64 and noticed that I had parts of a program called SIDTAR. I assume this is a program that allows guitar-style entry of notes that are played by the sid (probably uses 2 sids - 6 sid voices for 6 guitar strings, perfect!). Unfortunately, I do not have all of the parts of the program. I got the files from Alex Liu's (I might have slaughtered the name) old mail server. I have looked on all the ftp sites that I knew of (milton, maxwell, oswego) for any remnants of this program and have not been able to locate it. I would really love to see what this program can do. Could someone please send me either info on the program, where I could get it, etc. And on a side note, how much is the Dr. Evil Labs' second sid chip cartridge, since I don't have. I have instructions on how to add the second sid, but I don't trust my solder skills. Thanks very much. Stephen House house_s@cho006.cho.ge.com

SIDTAR may very well do what you have described above. However, I sort of doubt that it uses 2 SID chips--very few programs do. Maybe someone can clear this up. If it does support two SID chips, I would like to have a copy too. >Unfortunately, I do not have all of the parts of the program.
