The device appeared on the French market and was apparently a ported version from the [[ORIC]] one, Oric being a popular machine in France.
 
 
Not much is known about this device.
 
== Technical Specs. ==
I/O ports (as used by the included disk software):
 
FBFEh TMPI Speech MEA8000 Data Register
FBFFh TMPI Speech MEA8000 Command/Status Register
* '''Clock''' - There seem to be two versions of the device: One using the 4MHz signal from the CPC's expansion port. The other using an external '''unknown frequency (?)''' oscillator. The internal 3.84MHz oscillator (in the MEA8000 chip) isn't used by either version.
For details on the speech chip, see: 
* [[MEA8000]]
* [[MEA8000 I/O Ports and Pinouts]]
* [[MEA8000 Voice Generator]]
