Emic 2 Text to Speech Converter Interface

I would like to know how to interface the Emic 2 Text to Speech converter to a conventional 8 bit parallel data bus. I'm thinking it might take only one IC, but I don't know which one to choose. Please share any ideas even those you are not sure about. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    This response assumes that by 8 bit data bus you mean 8 parallel data bits and some control lines for reading and writing the data along with some address or chip select lines.

    There are two basic choices. You can use a standard UART chip like the 16550, or a small microcontroller.

    If the cpu controlling the parallel bus is fast enough you could also bit-bang the data in/out.

    Post a little more data on the circuitry producing the parallel output and you may get some more detailed suggestions.
