Lloyd,
Didn't some of the old Votrax synthesizers use another chip? I'm thinking of the old Votrax Personal Speech
System which I used for a while in the 1980's. This reminded me of that synthesizer. I remember that Votrax did
have a board that used the SSI263 chip as well.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson
