It came with two disks that included       among others a sound program that could play tunes based on chords and notes       written in an AppleSoft string. It only included two sample songs: Yesterday       and Yankee Doodle (with a gunshot at the end)       A friend has the stereo version and his card came with only one two-sided       disk. There the SW was more graphics oriented, similar to the one that was       used for the Cricket! and included the same functionalities except for the       clock. The spelling test there has some short musical interludes. I think       the songs are indeed the ones you mentioned.       I uploaded the disk images some time ago to archive.org. See       https://archive.org/details/StreetElectronicsEcho and check ECHO+_1.DSK              best regards,              cybernesto              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
