So I like early speech synthesis. I like DEC stuff.
I've got a
couple forms of the DECTalk boxes (the portable, the ISA card.) I'd
like the DTC-01 unit, the one that sort of looks like a VX2000
terminal. They come up on ebay every other week or so and end up
selling for well over $100.
Who's buying these things? Are they popular with collectors? Or are
they still being used in the disability care industry?
I suspect they're being purchased by dealers. I'd like one, but
haven't been willing to shell out the $$$'s.
