Looking for CTS256

Ask around in the BBC-B/arcimedes circles, in the dark ages I equipped a BBc-B with one, the computer had 2 slots reserved for a speech chip(I think from Texas Instrumentst?) and memorychip. I stil regret my stupidity, selling the BBC-B. If I can find out about it I will report back........ Ah!Link:

• TMS5220 (AKA CD2805E?): Improved version of the TMS5200, pin but not function compatible(has new lpc tables and a new chirp table); used on (later) Apple II Echo2 cards, on the very last run of TI 99/4A speech modules, on the BBC Micro, in Bally/Midway's Discs of TRON and NFL Football arcade games, and in many Atari arcade games, including Star Wars, Firefox, Paperboy, Return of the Jedi, Gauntlet, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Road Runner, The Empire Strikes Back, 720°, Gauntlet II, A.P.B., RoadBlasters, Vindicators Part II, and finally Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters. The TMS5220 was also used on Venture Line's Looping and Sky Bumper, Olympia's Portraits, and Exidy's Victory and Victor Banana arcade machines. [7] Superseded by TMS5220C in 1983/1984. That one(if you can find it) was fun :)
