Timex SC-01 Speech Synthesiser

[Al Hartman]

Glen,

I might have something somewhere, but I couldn't put
my fingers on it right now..

I remember taking the source for the manuals and
backing them up to Floppy in the late 80's.

I don't remember if I wrote the manuals on the PC I
was using, or the Imsai 8080 (8" Z-80 CPM), OR the
MS-DOS Clone we used for awhile..

If it's on the PC or the Clone, I might have the files
still. But, I think that Stewart kept the source to
that manual on the IMSAI.

Stewart is still in business, and he might still have
the information.

Have you tried going to www.zebrasystems.com ?

I remember that the software consisted of a Binary
Driver that did text to speech conversions. It was
contained in REM statements at the beginning of the
program, and I would pass the text to it for parsing
by poking values into a memory area, which would then
be sent to the Synthesiser for output after CALLing
the routine. It's been a LONG time.. LOL!

I didn't write the text to speech algorithim. Stewart
did that. I just did the UI, and wrote the manual for
it.

I'm not sure I have the source for that seperate from
a TS1000/ZX-81 Cassette. And I never kept one for
myself.

I still have a Speech Pak for the Coco (which we made
for Spectrum Projects), with the software... But, I
never kept one of the Timex Boards.

Regards,
Al
