- The HardSID is a family of sound cards, produced by a Hungarian company Hard Software and originally conceived by Teli Sándor. The HardSID cards are based on the MOS Technology SID (Sound Interface Device) chip which was popularised and immortalized by the Commodore 64 home computer. It was the third non-Commodore SID-based device to enter market. HardSID's major advantage over SidStation (apart from the fact that the SidStation has been sold out long since, with only few used pieces surfacing now and then) is that it is a simple hardware interface to a SID chip, making it far more suitable for emulator use, SID music players and even direct programming - SidStation only responds to MIDI information and requires music events to be converted to MIDI and back. The original HardSID (1999) was a card for the ISA bus (instantaneously anachronizing the item), containing a slot for one SID chip. From the beginning, HardSID has supported both the 6581 and the 8580 models of SID, including all revisions. The ISA model was subsequently replaced with a version for the PCI bus. As well as a standard 1-SID version, they launched the HardSID Quattro, which includes slots for four SID chips and a cooling fan. An USB line of HardSID products was introduced with two new models: the HardSID 4U, a USB device with sockets for 4 SID chips and the HardSID 4U Studio Edition with improved electrical isolation and screening to reduce noise in the signal. As of May 2010, there are three USB HardSID devices available: the HardSID Uno with 1 SID chip, the HardSID UPlay with 2 SID chips and the already known HardSID 4U Studio Edition with 4 SID chips. HardSID cards are supported by most modern SID music playing applications, including sidplay and ACID64 Player and some trackers such as GoatTracker. The ISA cards have official drivers for Microsoft Windows, and the PCI ones for Mac OS X as well as Windows. The Windows drivers support up to 32-bit Windows XP, and there are no 64-bit drivers or Vista/7 support at all. Unofficial drivers are available for Linux. The HardSID USB devices are shipped with Windows drivers for XP/Vista/7 only. MacOS X support was already worked on but dropped in May 2009, officially "due to the lack of/minimal interest" before any (beta) drivers were released. There are also no Linux drivers available. Separate MIDI drivers, which allowed any MIDI-capable instrument or sequencer program to drive the card, were available for both the ISA and PCI versions of the HardSID. The HardSID 4U unit has dedicated on-board CPU power, as opposed to the earlier HardSID units. This makes the 4U able to play SID-files with digi-contents at full speed and quality, without eating up your computer's CPU power. The older revisions depended on the player software's emulation to accomplish this, due to the lack of an on-board CPU or memory buffer. The result was virtually always a *very* high CPU load when playing digi-tunes.
- Datei:HardSID UPlay. jpg HardSID UPlay Der HardSID ist die Bezeichnung für eine Reihe von PC-Soundkarten, die von der ungarischen Firma Hard Software produziert werden und im Original von Teli Sándor entwickelt wurde. Die HardSID-Karten basieren auf dem Soundchip SID (Sound Interface Device, Typ 6581 oder 8580) der Firma MOS Technology, der durch den Heimcomputer Commodore 64 in den 1980er Jahren bekannt geworden war. Im Vergleich zum - ebenfalls auf dem SID basierenden - eigenständigen MIDI-Synthesizer SIDstation des Musikelektronikherstellers Elektron handelt es sich beim HardSID lediglich um ein Interface zum Rechner, in den die Karte eingesetzt wird. Das erste Modell des HardSID von 1999 war für den ISA-Bus ausgelegt und enthielt einen SID-Steckplatz. Der SID selbst befand sich jedoch nicht im Lieferumfang.

Karty HardSID konstruowane są w oparciu o układ MOS 6581 pochodzący z komputera Commodore 64. Ich przeznaczeniem jest obsługa dźwięku w emulatorach oraz odtwarzaczach chiptune. Zastosowanie oryginalnego układu dźwiękowego pozwala uzyskać pełną kompatybilność oraz wierność dźwięku, w przeciwieństwie do rozwiązań programowych. HardSID wspierany jest przez różnego rodzaju oprogramowanie. Przeznaczony jest również do pracy studyjnej.
- HardSID är en familj ljudkort för PC-datorer som tillverkas av det ungerska företaget Hard Software lett av Teli Sándor. HardSID baseras på 80-talsljudchippet SID (Sound Interface Device - egentligen MOS 6581 eller MOS 8580) som blev populärt genom att det användes i världens mest sålda hemdator: Commodore 64 under 1980-talet och i början av 1990-talet. HardSID var marknadens tredje SID-baserade enhet som inte tillverkats av Commodore (den första var SID Symphony av Creative Micro Designs och den andra SidStation MIDI synthesiser av Elektron). Till skillnad från SidStation som arbetar via MIDI-signaler, använder sig HardSID av ett hårdvaruinterface kopplat till SID-chippet, vilket gör det användbart till emulatorer, SID-musikspelare och även direkt programmering. Musiker som använder HardSID använder ofta HardSID 4U VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology) som kan hantera HardSID:s samtliga SID-chip tillsammans och/eller fristående.
