Hello,
      I'm quite new to PIC programming and IC electronics.
      Can anyone suggest a good alternative to the GI SP0256-AL2
      8-bit Speech Processor?   As any of the more recent 8-bit
      Speech Synthesisers I have found are largely overkill for my
      needs (and are often designed for surface-mounting), as this is
      for part of my university final year project.  The SP0256 also
      has the benefit of providing most of the component phoneme
      combinations I need within the datasheet (as I need to produce the
      date, month and year).
      The reason I ask is that SP0256-AL2 chips are proving quite
      hard to source (unless I start ripping apart old toys), plus I
      was wondering if there was a more up-to-date version or
      variation in a similar package format.

Thanks, and all the best,
