Hi,
Those were the BASIC commands of the Magic Voice Speech system used for the C364. You can find more info about them somewhere, I can't remember though where.
The ROM should be inserted as LOW, to the 4th (highest) slot. All PC emulators (MESS, Minus4, WinEMU, Yape) supports now, so you can try it. You can even type SAY "YES" for example, but the 364 was mapped to the FD2x IO area and used an unknown A/D converting scheme and they are failing on it...
There was no high ROM for it, only the speech chip itself.
There is a spec available for the Toshiba chip on Funet, and it is knownly used a so called PARCOR synthesis, but some expert would have to dig himself deeply into the subject to reverse engineer the C364 implementation... any volunteers? :-)
Indeed, it would be great hearing the C364 :-) (actually, it is the same as Magic Voice for C64, which was quite common, and there's even an MP3 sample somwhere on the net...)
Cheers,
Attila
Hi there!
I dropped a look on the 364 ROM file, and I found some strings that seem be BASIC commands. They are: VOC, RATE, SAY, RDY.
Anybody know further info about?
Another question. Assuming this is the 364' low ROM, the high one is the same as Plus4 (Kernal?). I tried this configuration but it doesn't run: just skip to Monitor environment.
