The answer is a resounding YES!  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.
