I'd like to note, that VICE works perfectly now for me, with emulation of
the SFX Sound Expander cartridge! Thanks to Soci for the tip he sent me in
private. I've checked vice out from vice's SVN repository (revision 24920)
and it seems to work nicely. Now I can hear at least what I've wrote code
for, quite nice feeling to enjoy the result of my own work, no need to
mention ...

The source is about being prepared for the release, but I am a bit nervous
about this, since it was a loooong time ago when I coded something
'seriously' for C64, also I wrote only smaller stuffs in 6502 assembly
before. What would be the best way to release the source? Post here? Or
should I port to some internal vice mailing list (too?) if it's really
useful to be a vice test-program?
