Guys, I have Magic Desk as a physical cart and it is also readily available in softform on the net.... I can email the disk image directly to those interested. ====>>> 1 ---------------- DEL ====>>> 2 MAGIC DESK I PRG ====>>> 97 MAGIC DESK- MAIN PRG ====>>> 17 MAGIC DESK- 8000 PRG ====>>> 17 MAGIC DESK- C000 PRG ====>>> 1 ---------------- DEL I have never tried Magic Voice with Magic Desk so don't know what to expect speech wise.... I don't know if the soft form will work given the Gorf discussion! The Cart itself is a multi-ROM, there are four ROMS in it plus decode logic so its not a simple case of EPROM burning :( Unfortunately never seen the "Bee" progs or the "Magic Talking Book" which is supposed to be the other title that existed! - Nick > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Atkinson [SMTP:rga24@hermes.cam.ac.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, 16 February 2000 10:19 > To: cbm-hackers@dot.tcm.hut.fi > Subject: Re: Magic Voice Software > > On Tue, 15 Feb 2000, Nicolas Welte wrote: > > > Yesterday I did a little experiment with my Magic Voice to finally hear > > something else than the built-in vocabulary.
