I would be interested in porting a sid player over to the amiga. Can your
friend suggest the best method of going about this?  I would probably 
want to write a sidplayer in C, as opposed to the ML it is in now (Right?)
I do have a _LOT_ of experience on the C64 both in basic and ML, and I 
now have some C experience on the amiga. Would buying this book give
me enough information on the format of the sid songs? Any help is greatly
appreciated. I also am a student, so I can surely appreciate that this
is how your friend is paying for his education, More power to him!
Thank you.
