I ftp'ed SID off of Sumex last week and managed to tried it over
the last weekend with my MacRecorder.  I esp. like the record to 
disk capability (I'm using the SID Test Util) but have ran into
a minor problem.  My direct-to-disk recordings 'skips' every 2.2
seconds or so (@22Khz sampling) because of the double buffering.
I have a 4Mb SE with a 40ms drive.  I went thru
the source code and it did mention that some skips are to be
expected on 'slower' Mac/hd combos.  Is my combo too slow?  (Have
anyone tried SID on a say, Mac II or faster machine?)
