I've got an old (circa 1982) Mockingboard (Sweet Micro Systems) card for
the Apple ][ that I've started using.  In reading the doc (yeah I know
*nobody* reads the manual) I found the following reference. 

"In preparation for SSI-263 speech synthesis, Sweet has engineered the 
appropriate circuitry to allow you to upgrade as soon as these new micro 
chips become available."

Sure 'nuff there's a couple of empty sockets on the board just *begging* 
to be populated.

      The two sockets are for another 6522 VIA and the SSI-263 speech
      synthesis chip.  6522's are easy to get, SSI-263's are not so
easy...
