I got my TTS256 interfaced yesterday to my SpeakJet. What a neat
chip. You just send messages to the chip terminated in a
carriage return ($0d) and it speaks! No more endless strings of
numbers to get this chip to say a few words. The input buffer is 256
bytes and you cannot send data to the chip when it is speaking. I
decided to stay with the larger ATMEGA8 since the ram is larger and
implemented a 832 byte buffer. I can send three complete buffers to
the ATMEGA8 for queuing to the TTS256. The speakjet speaking pin
should interface back to the ATMEGA8 although I haven't tried this in
my configuration yet.

So ... some questions.

Who is interested in a SpeakJet?
What are you planning on doing with it?
Are you interested in the TTS256 chip?
Any interest in an I2C bridge chip to connect to the SpeakJet/TTS256?
