Ah, so there is probably lots of gating inside the GAL ;-) In my opinion
the SID belongs to the C64 anyway and I don't care much about
alternative uses like the Plus/4, the SIDstation and the HardSID. I even
find it _extremely_ strange that CBM used in the B series! But, how much
is such a Plus/4 SID cart and does it come with or without SID?

I don't have a 1551 myself. The only one I ever saw belonged to a
friend, but I think she stopped using her Plus/4 setup when I sold her a
C64 with 1541 and Speeddos. Unfortunately both setups dissapeared in a
very sad way, and we all don't really want to know the details.
