>From what I remember of the original speech ROM, they were in a special
serial format ROM with a four bit address and serial output. I've never seem
a dump of one, they were mask programmed, not an EPROM or Flash. The funny
socket that originally fitted into the 'ash tray' on a B was going to be for
programs supplied in the same format. I don't think any were made.

Sprow has a neat upgrade:

I still have an original speech system running somewhere on a BBC I
converted into a talking voltmeter, (long story - I couldn't look at the
test points and a meter on a somewhat dangerous industrial repair).
