     @floe I'm from Eastern Europe. For a while that's all one could hope for, besides pc speaker, if they knew how to solder a few things together.

     @dosnostalgic ... AKA, 8 resistors stuffed into the printer port? 😉 IIRC one of my friends built his own one in high school.

     @dosnostalgic makes me want to get a Covox. Does it also support the Disney Sound Source?

     @ExtentOfTheJam not sure, would have to check. But there would be a significant drop in quality as the DSS is limited to 8000hz output.

     @dosnostalgic DSS is only 8khz? :( yeah that’ll sound like mud with music.

     @ExtentOfTheJam Yep. That's the big design change - they've added a 16 byte buffer. So you fill it up, and then it plays it, and that's a hard limit on the rate.
