   Hi Jayson,   
      
   I have an Echo LC which was supposed to be used with the Apple IIe Card for   
   the Mac. It came with Textalker 3.1.2P on a 3.5 inch disk. Considering how   
   late in the Apple II timeline this card was introduced, I did not expect any   
   newer versions to be available.   
   I also have a late revision of the Echo+ that came with Textalker 3.1.2 as   
   well. It was bundled in a DOS 3.3 and ProDOS version on each side of a 5.25   
   disk. I uploaded scans and disk images on archive.org some time ago:   
   https://archive.org/details/StreetElectronicsEcho   
   Where did you get the later Textalker versions? Are you  aware of any   
   improvements or bugfixes?
