    Description

    AtariVox+ Speech Synthesizer
    Speech Synthesis for your Atari 2600 and Vectrex!
    The AtariVox+ is a self-contained speech/music synthesizer and memory card for the Atari 2600 and 7800, Vectrex, and other video game consoles with compatible controller ports.
    The heart of the unit is the SpeakJet--an amazing chip with phonetic speech, preset sounds and a five channel music synthesizer. All of these are controlled by the console via a serial interface emulated through the driver software.
    Similar to chips used in 80s speech synthesizers but with extended capabilities, the speech retains a nice retro quality, making it a perfect partner for classic consoles.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Also onboard the AtariVox+ is 32K of non-volatile memory which can be used as a memory card. The flash memory will retain data without power for 200+ years.
    An allocation scheme has been devised so that no file is ever overwritten, allowing many different games to store data on just one unit.
    Dip Switch Settings
    The AtariVox+ contains a bank of dip switches that allow you to select which mode the AtariVox+ will operate in:
    AtariVox - for the Atari 2600 and 7800 (default setting)
    VecVoice - for compatibility with earlier Vectrex speech synthesis - mainly for the speech-hacked version of Berzerk (Verzerk) and Y.A.S.I.
    VecVox - for the Vectrex.
