- The Disney Sound Source is different from the Speech Thing by Covox
- Inc in Eugene, OR. The Sound Source has the capability to be turned
- on and off through software and I think that pins for sound output are
- different as well. Not only that, but software can detect if a Sound
- Source is connected or not. Although you can let Windows continue
- even though it doesn't detect it, you won't hear anything
- recogniseable (sp). I thought it would work too, but I tried. Also,
- selecting Sound Source on Sierra games produces the same static-like
- output on Speech Thing or other 8-bit printer port DAC.
