Re: Breadbox vs C64c - reliability?

I'd not really prefer any C64/128 which has the new SID. Nearly all
games were compatible with the old SID, so with the new one you might
have different sounds.

You know, the sad part is that during the 80's I had several different
64 variants ranging from the original breadbox to the 128D and my
friends also had several variants. None of us ever even knew there
was anything different with the SID chip at that time. I didn't learn
about it until well after the Commodore era had passed and everyone
moved on to PCs. Although by using an emulator and switching between
different versions, I can tell some difference audibly, it is
definitely not enough that I ever noticed back then and might still
not notice today if people didn't talk about it.
