[sci.electronics] SP0256....

	Greetings. I recently got an "InteliVoice" box that you
	plug into an "InteliVision" (remember those?) game and it
	adds voice to special game cartriges...

	Well, I had a feeling that the used the SPO256 series, so
	I got it.

	When I opened the box, I found 2 _Big_ chips and some "glue"
	logic and a pre-amp. The 40-pin chip is labeled "SPB-640"
	and the 28-pin chip is the "SP-0256-012" - or a flavor of
	the RatShack's "SP0256-AL2". I have the data sheet for the
	RatShack's chip but this one has a different extention. What
	does it mean? Also, what is the bigger chip for? ROM expantion
	like they mention in the reference manual? (Something about
	expanding the ROM by 491K max...)

	If noone has any ideas, could someone, at least, give me the
	pin-out for the InteliVision game? (44-pin)

	Take care.

I have both chips.  Apparently the INTELLIVISION chip doesn't have
the allophone set built in.  When I took the -012 chip and plugged
it into my -AL2 board all it could say was "Mattel Electronics
Presents ..."

Good luck
