Is there a soundcard or some kind of covox-like plug that will do the job? I know it works in DOSBOX but I wanted to know what physical solutions exist.

There are several projects here on Vogons, for instance an ISA card in this topic: Tandy Nano - 3 Voice Soundcard ISA - Lowprofile
There is also this topic, in which patches are shared to enable 3-voice Tandy music on non-Tandy machines that are equipped with such cards: Re: The 3 voice sound PCjr/Tandy 1000 games patching thread!
And lastly, there is also a TND2LPT project, which is a parallel port device that has the same 3-voice synthesizer on it. However, it requires a TSR to make it work with games that support Tandy music (on top of the aforementioned patching).

Or simply use a home made D/A converter for the parallel port (Covox Speech Thing) in combination with the TEMU TSR.
It will emulate the 3-Voice chip in software.
The result isn't too shabby, I think. 😀
Of course, the real chip will be better.
Especially in respect of the noise channel, for example.

Ok this is good. I have an aztech that supports covox wonder if it's compatible.
