The W9XT card (my preference) stores the messages on the card itself
in a static memory chip. The current version of the card can store
four 15 second messages (more than enough in my experience). It is,
however, an ISA bus card, and essentially no new computers have an
ISA bus any more. Does anyone have instructions/idea on putting a
W9XT card in an external enclosure and driving it from a parallel
port?
