Commodore 64 for grabs

Tell that to the fanboys. Because SID has some analogue components in it,
it is very difficult to duplicate the sound precisely. Some SID-philes
insist they can discern a difference not only between major versions (6581/2
and 8580) and minor revisions, but even individual chips. 

There are some software libraries that closely emulate the SID, such as
Dag Lem's reSID, but making a perfect working modern form that everyone
agrees on has been a minor holy grail.
