We had our Votrax T&T on one of the spare ports of a Cromemco/Cromix system
being used as a mail/BBS system; sort of a talking Caller ID announcing
when various users logged in.
Fun times...

Oh.. That brings back memories. We had a Votrax with a

the computer room.
I configured it as a printer so I could yell into the room..
echo Hey Alan. Look at the console and change the tape to the one requested

If anyone knows of an available unit (at
considerably less than the $500
one on eBay), please let me know. I actually have one SC-01-A and would
even take a unit missing the Votrax chip - I understand some units were
scavenged for the chip for several video arcade machines which used them.
