MAME now emulates a Stasi numbers-station speech synthesizer
Gerät 32620 was a digital speech generator, developed in the early 1980s and was used by the Stasi for sending secret coded messages via the mysterious numbers stations that used to be operated on the short wave radio bands. The device is known by different names, including Eiserne Frau (iron lady) and Stimme (Voice).
A MAME emulation has been created. Thanks to the work of the Crypto Museum (https://www.cryptomuseum.com/) the ROM images and documentation for this machine is available. A preliminary driver was written by natarii (Twitter thread) which I’ve taken and reworked.
