Apple //c

You're lucky! Unless my memory is fried, the Cricket is a speech synthesizer for the //c. I don't know if it plays music. It's separate becuase putting anything inside the //c is very difficult. On other ][ series machines, this kind of hardware came on expanion cards. Sorry, I don't have any software for the Cricket or know where you can get any. It may be compatible with some other speech chips (I sort of remember that the Cricket was made by a company that had already sold a synthesizer or two -- maybe the Echo?). (You probably know that the //c already comes with a "sound system" -- a small speaker that has to be entirely controlled by the CPU -- though it DOES have a volume knob, and you CAN play two voices at once on it.) Sellam will undoubtedly have more info. He may have the software too. -- Derek ObTopicDrift: Am I the only person who remembers the SoundChaser? (I think that's what it was called). I always wanted specs on it. Was it MIDI?
