For all you retro text to speech nerds out there, here's a recording of Superior Software's "Speech" for the Amstrad CPC computer (1986). This was a small piece of Z80 machine code that played phonemes through the computer's AY-3-8912 sound chip

It sounds pretty harsh, and there are a number of hard clicks in the output I couldn't easily fix.

I've included what I think is the spoken script as alt text

My colleagues are talking about ADFS.

They probably mean the boring Microsoft version.

I just keep thinking about playing Zarch on the school Archimedes.
