wanted: Votrax PSS manual

For what it's worth there is a manual for the Votrax Type N Talk at the URL below, I believe they used the same speech chip (SC-01). Crap, I had a Votrax PSS about 4 years ago and sold it for pennies on the dollar! http://members.aol.com/itsancientpics3/votraxmanual.htm There is also a neat piece of DOS software to read the screen through a PSS at: http://park.org/Guests/Trace/pavilion/dosshar1.htm Sorry, that's all I can come up with.

Thanks to Robert Stek's informative post (http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2003-February/010608.html) on this list in Feb '03, I am in the process of constructing a power supply for it. (i.e. I eBayed a 28VAC transformer and am using an 18.5VDC laptop power supply instead of 20VDC which HOPEFULLY won't hurt anything, until I find a satisfactory 20VDC power supply, and am cannibalizing a DIN-5 connector from a dead keyboard) However, I still lack a copy of the PSS's manual, so I can't figure out how to set the various device modes, to control the AY-3-8910 audio generator chip, etc. If anyone here has the manual for the Votrax Personal Speech System and has some means to scan or digitize it (a digital camera will work) can they post or send me a copy of the images? It would be very much appreciated. Jonathan Gevaryahu
