Hmm, forgive my ignorance here.  Is the proposed SpeakJet module
simply an add-on to the PSIM?  I don't have a PSIM... Or is it a
standalone Blacet-style sound-generation module?

Or is it merely a glimmer in somebody's eye?  I'm pretty good with
DIY, given a schem and layout diagram, but I'm not especially adept at
trial-and-error with electronics.

Thanks...
