I'll give it a test and compare with the 6569R3, just need to dig out 
the C64s, currently I have the C16 hooked up to the Monitor since the 
BASIC V3.5 is soo much better for quick hacks or check out a number of 
old disks (Just press F3 for directory).

There is also and HMOS SID for the C64, the 8580R5. This one needs a 
little hack to re-enable playback of samples the way the 6581 could and 
also sounds differently. People have claimed that the 8580 works like 
its described in the data sheet... (the 6581 only kinda does).
