Anyone who knows of a place were I could get this one (just for fun),

Indeed, that is the speech chip related to what I'm searching for: the
CTS256, a text 2 speech translator..., also from GI...

You may already know this but technically, the CTS256-AL2 is a text to
code processor. It converts English text to phoneme codes used by the
SP0256-AL2. By itself, it not very useful. I used to sell both chips
but have run out. They are exceptionally hard to find now. I've been
selling these little buggers for years and it's not uncommon to find
one of two tucked away in the spare drawer or the basement. If it dig
anything up, I'll let you know, George.

Unless, your application requires a CTS256-AL2, you might consider the
SpeakJet Speech Synthesizer IC and the TTS256 Text to Speech Companion
IC.

They operate in a similar manner. In fact, I used the original Naval
Research Labs SNOBOL as a basis for the TTS256.
