	I asked the question earlier and someone had written to
me saying that Hallmark electronics has the chip which can be
bought for about $40.  The Hallmark that supposedly has them in
stock is the one in Cherry Hill New Jersey.

<---- Do I still need this ? ---->

Does anyone out there have the address of a distributor
for the speech chip featured in the current (well, it's
current over here) issue of BYTE.  Steve Ciarcia said that
if we build it ourselves, then we can (effectively) have
the software for free, but if we can't even get the chip,
and that's how it looks from this side of the pond, then
there's going to be some problem in building the design.

I'd appreciate any names & addresses of companies which
would be willing to deal in 1- or 2-off quantities, with
"foreigners" like myself. (I'm assuming here that this
message is directed at the USA, since I don't stand much
chance of finding a British distributor), and by the
way, how much does the chip cost?

Also, while I'm on the subject, has anyone who has built up
this design come up against any problems.

Thanks for any replies which make it back over here.
