Speech with an SP0256-AL2
On my 65265 MCU build, I was curious what it would take to get basic speech capabilities. As I researched this, having the 65265 directly generate speech did not seem like the right approach, primarily due to the CPU-intensive nature of speech synthesis. Rather, a dedicated speech synthesis chip was likely a better approach. Doing a cursory search, I found these as potential options: General Instrument / Microchip SP0256 Family (SP0256‑AL2) Texas Instruments LPC Speech Chips

Building a W65C265S Operating System (?)
As my W65C265S hardware build is coming along well, I would like to develop an operating system (OS) for it. While I have done miscellaneous 65xxx development over the years, my code has always been a mishmash of routines. The closest I have come to better understanding operating systems is implementing FreeDOS on my 286/386 builds, where I was adding core BIOS routines to support FreeDOS. So, can I hack my way through this and develop and operating system? Time will tell. So
