"UPDATE"
I have an Echo IIb and there is a 2 pin connector on mine for
connecting the Apple II speaker jack onto it. I didn't have a
cable included so I simply used a CD sound cable used to
supply the stereo output from the CD drive to the sound card
in newer model computers. Simply use the side that has 2 lines
beside each other. If it doesn't play, then invert one end and it
will. This connection is polarity dependent.
