Hmm, digging, digging.... aha! From the "FAQs-on-Ground"
(http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/Csa2SOUND.html):
Part 1: Kinds of MockingBoards
The original MockingBoards come in four basic 'flavors':
Sound I-- produces music tones and a variety of sound
effects (3 voices to 1 Audio Output)
Speech I-- produces speech or limited sound effects
(1 voice output to 1 Audio Output)
Sound II-- 2 x Sound I on a single board (3+3 voices
to 2 Audio Outputs)
Sound/Speech I-- Sound I + Speech I on a single board
(3+1 voices to 2 Audio Outputs)
All later "alphabet" models (designated by A-D) OTOH do seem to have
two sound chips as standard.
