I wondered, since the Ufonic and Echo are TMS5220 based (though my Echo II
has a /tiny/ TMS chip compared to the chunky DIP I know and love from
BBCs...). I'm guessing the DoubleTalk is either based on a different chip,
or has a phrase ROM in which case only the most basic I/O is needed.

No worries, and yes, I'd still like to hook up a speaker box ;)

Next task is making my own Workstation card dongles. I've got 7 cards and
one dongle ;)
