Tyler, have you gotten any of the boot up process talking? I've managed to get all but the login prompt talking and what comes after that. Setting id:2:initdefault in /etc/inittab does appear to get me a bash login but it's silent. Also as a side effect of that, I no longer hear the @ so I think the synth isn't being probed for anymore either. Jude <jdashiel@shellworld.net>
