Don't forget the AE Phasor. It had one chip to synthesis
speech. Sounds almost like the computer in War Games. It also has the
capability to emulate most other sound boards. If I remember right, it
had an empty socket for future expansion. A female voice chip. Does
anyone know if this was ever completed? I'm thinking not...
