[XCSSA] Request for Winders laptop for Monday for MB-SID?

[X-otic Computer Systems of San Antonio]

Hah, ignore my previous e-mail. Man do I love the MidiBox community! I  
posted on the forums about my predicament and what did I get as a  
reply? The main person behind the MidiBox codebase went ahead and  
patched the OS X version of SIDPlay so it can output to my MB-SID!

Check it out:

Awesome!
