NEAT! Is this from your C128 tower? Nice work, funny video! :)

I actually have a Speccy speech synth which is not too dis-similar sounding to yours (amazingly).

Thanks! This is actually on a Commodore 64 with JiffyDOS, but otherwise a stock machine. The 128 Tower is not hooked up atm, but it will be hooked up again shortly as I clear some desk space.

Was your Speccy speech synth hardware or software based? SAM was purely software based.

P.s. That question about your hardware was a bit of a dumb one as I wasn't paying attention to the start-up C= basic title screen, sorry!

Actually not a dumb question at all. If I was using the 128T, I would have to boot into C64 mode. The C64 mode would look the same, if I had the SuperCPU disabled.
