I've put together a complete set of interfaces for producing speech and
digitized sounds in all of the various IIGS languages, so that programmers can
do speech or sound playback with one-word commands. ... I just haven't decided
what to do with the libraries yet .. put 'em in a column, sell as software
utility, give away. 

As for the printer drivers, contact Bill Heineman at Interplay Productions. He
has a number of nifty drivers, including ones for the HP Laserjet, SilentType,
and one for the ImageWriter II twice as fast as the standard driver.
