Hi,a game?" like in the movie "Wargames", HA!). But when I tried to run the Textalker program on the disk, the computer keeps freezing up on the copyright screen. It doesn't respond to any keys or even the reset button. I have to turn off the computer and
I've had an Echo II speech synthesizer card installed in my Apple II+ for a while and until now it was working fine. It's been a while since I used it, and a couple of days ago I wanted to play around with it (make the computer say "Do you want to play
The disk is not an original that came with the card. I bought the card on eBay a couple of years ago and it came with a disk that looks like someone just copied at some point. But it was working fine until now. I also made a backup copy of the disk.The disk reads fine, but the card itself doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I've opened the computer and cleaned it, and added cards, etc since I last used the Echo II. I was always very careful and I don't THINK I could have damaged it. All the other cards are working fine. Is it possible the ECHO II has to be in a specificslot to work? Or could it be having some kind of conflict with another card or something? I've tried moving it to a different slot but still can't get it to work. The card itself looks in perfect condition, no bad traces or contacts,etc.
Here are the cards I have installed:
Slot 0: Language Card
Slot 1: Super Serial Card
Slot 2: Grappler printer card (installed but not connects to a printer)
Slot 3: "Wizard-80" 80 column card
Slot 4: empty
Slot 5: ECHO II card
Slot 6: disk drive controller card
I feel like I'm missing something. It seems like when I first got the card I had trouble getting it to work at first then too, but I don't remember.
I'd greatly appreciate any help!
