|    Looking for a specific Echo Plus disk    |

      From: jaybird.qxz@bluegrasspals.qxz.com.qxz              Hi,              When we first got our Apple IIe in 1987 we had a disk which probably       came with our Echo II Plus card, though I'm not sure. It booted into       ProDOS, and had a few programs on it, one of which used the Mockingboard       support on the Echo to play four very short songs (Camptown Races,       Sidewalks of New York, Oh! Susanna, and Way Down Upon the Swanee River).       It also had a spelling game that used pre-recorded LPC speech samples       and played some of those little jingles when you spelled a word correctly.              At that time I was all of nine years old, and that disk didn't talk when       it booted, so I naturally assumed ProDOS just wasn't designed to be used       with the Echo speech. By the time I knew better, I'd somehow erased that       disk, and have never been able to find it since. As far as I know, this       disk is *not* in the collection of Echo software that was put together       in around 2000. I think there's a demo of this disk on Soundcloud       somewhere. Does anyone even know what I'm talking about, or perhaps have       a copy?              Thanks,              Jayson              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
