[Coco] SSP with NitrOS9

I remember seeing a web page about making changes to a Tandy Speech 
Sound Pack so that it would run under OS9 Level II or NitrOS9, but I 
can't remember which or where I found the info.

I am running a 6809 CoCo 3, with Cloud9'e memory upgrade with a modified 
MPI. I am using a Disto SCII with dual 3.5 DSDD drives, I have Rogers 
new wireless cartridge, but am waiting for my ebay bluetooth USB 
purchase to arrive. My display is a LCD monitor using Roy's RBG to VGA 
converter

I am using a custom version of NitrOS9 L2 ver 3.2.9. My custom boot disk 
has DW3 and the SSP files from the MODULES/SCF directory, the Disto SC 
driver, 6551 t2 driver, etc

I have my Disto in slot 3, Rogers pack in slot 0, and my SSP in slot 2

I reference my HW/SW config in case I am "missing" something that might 
be obvious to others, but not obvious to me. Currently with the SSP 
installed in the MPI, BUT NOT IN USE, everything works without any 
problems. Floppy access, DW3 access, correct display, etc.

My question is two-fold:
(1) Do I need to make any (hardware, jumper, etc) changes to the SSP in 
order to make it work
(2) To use it, can I just redirect text or output a text file to the SSP 
driver

Thanks
