I purchased a SID II kit this summer and am very satisfied with it. I noticed that Farralon Computing is now marketing their SoundEdit software seperately, This is due to the new line of Macs coming out with sound recording capabilites. Does any body know wether this software will work with the SID II? Bryan Newman

Since the SID-II (and now the CSD, see below) are completely compatible with the MacRecorder (tm Farallon) hardware format, they will work with the SoundEdit (tm Farallon) software. I have tested this. I hoped Farallon would make this move since the new machines have the hardware built in. I also hope that Authorware would release SoundWave sometime soon. They bundle it as part of their multi-media software and I think it is the best straight sound capture program available (SoundEdit has better special effects, mind you). The SID-II is no longer being sold by CEDAR Tech. We are now selling the CSD (CEDAR Sound Digitizer) which is an improved version of the SID-II. It features selectable auto-leveling, and LED inidicator, and more precise timing (using a custom crystal). A kit is available from: CEDAR Technologies P.O. Box 224 Dublin, NH 03444 for $45 plus $4 shipping and handling. A cable is $8 (not included) and a disk with PD and shareware stuff on it is $5. Write for info about foreign orders.
