Does anyone know a source for these chips? I can't find any supplier,
especially not in Germany.

Thanks,

Matt

a) Obsolete. Introduced about 1985 but dropped
almost the same year.
I still have a preliminary datasheet.
b) its a formant-synthesizer: the original
devellopment system from would be
necessary to code speech for it.

Hah, ok, thanks. Obsolte since 1985, and it would have been perfect for
my Bot since I have the I2C bus anyways. Sigh ;-)

Danke.

You could consider using and SP0256-AL2 or a SpeakJet to add speech to
you bot. Both are available here...

Thank you. What I really liked about the original part was the i2c bus,
since that is the bus system of choice in my bot anyways, used by the
face LED's, gyro, and accelerometers. I found some leftovers for over
$60 a piece, which is out of the question.

Do speakjet it is as soon as I can free up some more pins ;-)
