I have no idea where the DIN connector would go. I
don't think I've ever
seen an Echo card with that.
I'm still scratching my head on that. The only DIN 5 connector I remember
on an Apple II, is on the IIc for the modem port. Maybe this was meant
for that (it is possible that the two are not a pair, I got them as a
pair, and I have seen one on eBay as a pair, but maybe the card is for
one type of Apple, and the box is for another).
It also does speech synthesis with the supplied
software. If you don't
have the software then I can probably make a copy for you as I know
exactly where my disks are.
I don't have the software. All I got was a card and speaker box. I was
going to check the asimov ftp site, but if you know where the disks are,
and it isn't much trouble to send me images, that would be great (but if
it is much effort, I can just search that ftp site and then bug you again
in the future if I can't find the software there).

Aha. Look at the speaker box. Does it say "Echo II" or "Echo IIc"?
If
the latter then it is the //c version of the Echo card, since there is no
way to put the card inside a //c. If this is the case, I am not terribly
familiar with the Echo IIc. I would guess the electronics are in the box,
and it connects to a serial port on the back of the //c.

These days everything is a chore. If you don't find it on Asimov then let
me know. I'll make disk images that I can send to you, and you can put
them up on Asimov for the next guy :)

Hi guys
I had posted a message, a few days ago, asking for help on the specs of the
external PSU for the infamous Sinclair Flat Screen Pocket TV. Nobody posted
any reply (thanks for the help! I guess it was quite off-topic) and I had to
open it up and trace back the signals using a multimeter.
Well, for any future reference, the PSU Sinclair Flat Screen Pocket TV is
6VDC (much less than 900mA) and the polarity of the socket is : (+)----(
*----(-) (inner negative, outer positive)
Cheers

Hi George.
It would probably help immensely if you started a new thread with an
appropriate subject title rather than simply replying to the first message
you come across with your query.

Sorry Ismail, but I pressed Ctrl+Enter a split second before the Paste of
the subject. Really sorry for the mess.

Did you happen to think that maybe no body knew the answer to your question and that
that's why no one replied?
I've asked about external PSUs several times and never got a response but I never
got PO'd about it.
