  • @falconxample The floppy drive is not a 400KB, it is an 800KB, because the motor is silent and the head sounds different. I believe this is a 512ke, for enhanced. 512k Enhanced came after the 512k and before the Plus. It simply means it is an improved 512k. The 512k would actually take an 800k drive and make it sound all bizarre, really slow. The ROM in the 512ke is upgraded to accept an 800k.

  • @HemaZev it's the name of the computer "Mac 512", one version before the Mac Plus

  • Is that a 512ke? It sounds like an 800k drive.

  • still got one of those smoothtalker disks? id love one for my 128k.

  • i had that program back in the day....

  • The CLAN .. CLAN  .CLAN of the keys is beautiful

  • I always thought that the old text-to-speech programs used to sound rather strange. They weren't much better by OS 9, but the ones for OS X seem to be decent.

    Either way, it is pretty neat that in 1984, they had these things talking.

  • @mundotaku Oh, I see. It's still less yellowed than most of these I see.

  • @NonTechno It is not white, it is the light, if you see his hand it also looks unnaturally white.

  • My friends and I used to do phoney phone calles with Smoothtalker. It is amazing how many people fell for it.
