Any info on the HARDSID 4U?

MIDIbox SID
1

Does anyone own one of these? or had any experience? 
I have an option to get one for $400 pick up which is cheaper than finding a sammichSID. 
And i don’t want to construct anything. 

I’ve looked everywhere for the vst file, but i can’t find it anywhere? 
Is there even recent vst support? x64? 

I’m just looking for a SID synth that i control via midi (usb will be fine). 

Thanks in advance.

It seems the hardsid.com domain is down. But all the links are on the fb page:

If I were looking to buy a SID synth on a budget and couldn’t find a sammichSID, I would be looking into a C64 with MSSIAH cartridge. Everything else is too unsupported, expensive, finicky, etc.

I used a 4u for a while.  Not supported very well, and it’s not got as much flexibility as Mios… plus you’re tied to a computer, which may or may not be an issue.  However, as as long as you’re using XP, it should work ok.
