I just got back from a long weekend at the Cleveland Notacon 7/Blockparty 2010 event. Some kind soul I met at the show gifted a TI-99/4A (sans power supply and one key) at our gaming tables, and it included the speech module! All this due to my talking about the TI-99/4A I had with Star Trek: Space Operations Simulator game cart -- the only ST: SOS cart among all the home computers of era to have speech sounds which required use of the speech module. Sensing my need, I guess that person wanted my dream to be fulfulled. :)
Going to sleep now,
