   Looking for a specific Echo Plus disk

   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
