Apple //c - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

8 Mar 1999

My mistake, I was misleading in saying that the cricket is in a separate
enclosure; actually it is in it's own box with only a cable coming out with
a connector that could fit in the modem or printer connectors (Serial device
comes to mind)
I'll do more web search before posting on the comp.sys.apple2
Thanks for the answers

  I just got a //c over the Week End,
 It came with what looks like a sound system: the item is in a separate
 enclosure with what looks like a speaker and a volume knob. It's labelled
 "cricket". Does anyone on the list have any infor on this item? Power
 requirement, software that uses it etc... 
Its a speech synthesizer speaker box.  Unless a Cricket card was made that
could be installed inside the //c (I'm not aware of such a thing although
I won't rule it out) then this box probably went with something like a //e
that did have the speech synthesizer card in it.

Er, wait a second, I'm thinking of something different.  I do remember
reading articles in mid-80s Apple magazines that were advertising the
Cricket.  It may very well have been for the //c.

Try posting this message on comp.sys.apple2.  Somewhere there should be
able to help you more than this message.
