Possibly, you could make a fargo driver for the SF, but i wish you luck. 
The TI-92 has a few dificulties with direct link port opperation. I 
think it is possible to do it, but no one has, plus it is discontiued, 
and with a working prototype out there, it would not be a very useful 
plan. I did however want to see if an Amtel chip could work. And I2C 
interface could make it possible and allow multiple chips to run. It 
would use a very small interface, and is already developed. You could 
problably even add a 1, 2, possibly even a 4 bit speaker that would work 
with it and could run SIMULTANEOUSLY and because the I2C chip is 
bidirectional, it may be possible to record sound using the speaker as a 
mic??? I don't know it it would work, but I2C is a powerful interface. I 
think someone should consider it. I would even build a prototype if I 
could get the chips and a driver made.

A buffer may be necesary to run the memory chip and the speaker, to keep 
signals flowing directly. The speaker may need a latching chip to  keep 
it from clicking between reads and writes, but it could be possible.
