Looking for a specific Echo Plus disk

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

When we first got our Apple IIe in 1987 we had a disk which probably 
came with our Echo II Plus card, though I'm not sure. It booted into 
ProDOS, and had a few programs on it, one of which used the Mockingboard 
support on the Echo to play four very short songs (Camptown Races, 
Sidewalks of New York, Oh! Susanna, and Way Down Upon the Swanee River). 
It also had a spelling game that used pre-recorded LPC speech samples 
and played some of those little jingles when you spelled a word correctly.

At that time I was all of nine years old, and that disk didn't talk when 
it booted, so I naturally assumed ProDOS just wasn't designed to be used 
with the Echo speech. By the time I knew better, I'd somehow erased that 
disk, and have never been able to find it since. As far as I know, this 
disk is *not* in the collection of Echo software that was put together 
in around 2000. I think there's a demo of this disk on Soundcloud 
somewhere. Does anyone even know what I'm talking about, or perhaps have 
a copy?

Thanks,

Jayson
