I recently obtained a Votrax Personal Speech System which unfortunately for
me, did not include the power supply or the manual.
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.

P.S. I'm sorry if this message gets onto the list multiple times, I
initially sent it to cctech from my comcast account with a different return
address, and I thought it had been 'moderated to death'. So I sent it to
cctalk instead, with the same account... and my message still never showed
up. (I guess
classiccmp.org is rejecting all comcast mail as spam or
something nasty like that) So now, I'm sending it through hotmail, and I
HOPE it gets through...
