<< Jay, you might consider going one step further in the direction of doing
the "impossible" with an Apple IIe--play some digitized sound! >>

Michael,
	I emailed Dan and Dave Lampbert at Techware years ago about this.  Since
Tutor-Tech stacks are limited to 32Kb, there's no room to incorporate digitized
sound into the software of the stack.  Alternatives are:

[1]Echo-style voice cards providing unlimited vocabulary with a male voice and
high-quality female voice with about a 4000 word vocabulary.
[2]Tutor-Talk: a tape player device especially made to work with Tutor-Tech and
play when controlled with stack commands (I've never purchased this because it
would be so hard to share stacks based on this with other Apple II Users.) 
This would allow unlimited vocabulary, but only in a linear progression (it
can't go backward to play an earlier sound if the stack loops back).
[3]Video Recorder or Video Disk Player--Tutor-Tech can control some types of
each of these, but not the ones that I own.  The good news is, they can move
forward and reverse to find the exact part of the tape/disk to play, either on
a separate monitor or on the Apple II monitor using the Video Overlay Card.

[4] Musical notes--Tutor-Tech v2.7 has full piano keyboard capabilities.

	Right now, I'm still deciding whether or not to use speech, and if so, to what
degree.  The music is coming along, at least for clues in the crossword puzzle
(National Anthem).  My slots that day look like the following:

S1:VIDEO OVERLAY CARD
S2:DOUBLE TALK SPEECH CARD
S3:TRANSWARP II
S4:MOUSE
S5:APPLE MEMORY CARD
S6:
S7:  FOCUS HARD DRIVE

	I'm thinking of using a 1982 Apple II and a green screen monitor with an FLAT
LCD for the overhead projector, and the CCD camera.
