I have also developed a relatively extensible and very configurable MIDI To
SID (XSID) program.  At the moment it only does output to XSID reliably.  I
seem to have messed up the port of the SID Wizard converter.  The SID
Wizard converter is a little 
limited in comparison to the XSID converter, though.  I guess it would be
easier to play on the real machine however.  Maybe someone can write an
XSID player for HardSID?

{at}Ian:  My XSIDToMIDI program is definitely a step up from SID2MIDw.  Give
it a try.  I find doing multiple passes with different settings and
combining those in my DAW gives really awesome results. 

I've been looking into how do to a Linux and MacOS port but I just don't
have the ability to port the C/C++ code library wrapper at the moment. 
Also, there seems to be an issue in the LZMA units when compiled with
FPC/Lazarus.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.


Daniel.
