	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...
