Most Likely a SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) clone. Try the Software off
one of the BIG A2 sites on it.
They used a 8-bit DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) You could get some
fairly decent sounds out of it but I don't recall any Prodos Versions of
the Software, all the versions I had were Dos 3.3 and Prodos Pucked on
them.
