Hi all fans of SID chip,

recently I thought it would be good to tweak a little bit SID chip directly on eLeMeNt ZX which is supporting SID chip (as well as MB03+) to learn more about its features.

I found a SID tester at www.hackjunk.com, so I decided to rewrite it from C64 basic to ZX Spectrum Basic. You can find SID tester for C64 also at youtube here.

Suprisingly 3,5 times slower C64 has a very fast Basic. And I had to apply 7 MHz mode at 2 out of 4 tests. According to my ear, tests should sound C64 alike, although they very slightly differ in time length.

This neat little program is mainly for demonstration purposes.
