I just got a //c over the Week End,
It came with what looks like a sound system: the item is in a separate
enclosure with what looks like a speaker and a volume knob. It's labelled
"cricket". Does anyone on the list have any infor on this item? Power
requirement, software that uses it etc...
Its a speech synthesizer speaker box. Unless a Cricket card was made that
could be installed inside the //c (I'm not aware of such a thing although
I won't rule it out) then this box probably went with something like a //e
that did have the speech synthesizer card in it.
Er, wait a second, I'm thinking of something different. I do remember
reading articles in mid-80s Apple magazines that were advertising the
Cricket. It may very well have been for the //c.
Try posting this message on comp.sys.apple2. Somewhere there should be
able to help you more than this message.
