Whoops! The unaided Apple II doesn't _have_ an RS-232 port!
Perhaps you meant the 16-pin "game port". There were a few of those
IIRC. Measurement of light and temperature via the joystick ports
comes to mind.
I seem to recall some Byte articles describing primitive (1-bit) sound
digitizing and playback via the cassette port--a pretty natural extension
of its normal function. ;-)
But Steve Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar devoted itself primarily to peripheral
cards that plugged into the Apple II expansion connectors. There were
a couple of speech synthesizers that I remember, a couple of years
and a chip generation apart.
It would be fun to see an "index" of Apple II construction articles in
the several magazines that published them.
