The Orchestra-90 has two RCA (phono) type sockets for left and right stereo 
output. The Speech Sound Cartridge has none.

Sounds like a regular run of the mill cable that allows you to say hook up a 
portable CD player via headphone jack into the back of a component stereo or 
cassette deck, OR from that cassette deck into the aux input of a soundcard. 
There is obviously more uses, but these are a couple that come to mind. 
Can't remember the orc90 or ssc external connections.

Probably just a connector-converter cable... Mine is:
rca-shield - rca-shield - top jack connector
rca-white-center - bottom jack connector
rca-red-center - center jack connector

And I'll have you know I had to dissasemble my Amiga's wiring to get
to this. (there, it converts the Amiga's RCA audio out, with a gender
bender, to the mini-jack so I could hook up a set of PC powered
speakers. There is also another one converting a Linux box's
mini-jack to RCA so it can be hooked into my stereo system.)

Used to also be able to get this in a little (~ 1" long) adaptor from
Radio Shack. Don't know if they still have'em or not.
