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.
