I had a deal wherein the reading edge could accept inputs from an 1986
PC, which had vocal eyes, but used the speech synthizer of the reading
edge.
It only needed serial cord interfaces, and worked well with Q-modem mail
program.

PS I'm told that reading edges go for $300 now, but know someone looking
for one. Will

You plug a null-modem cable into your new computer, connect the other end
to a machine with speech already working, and run an emulator on the
machine with speech already running. The new machine thinks it's talking
to a doubletalk LT for example but it's really talking to another
computer.
It shouldn't even be very difficult to write. You wouldn't have to worry
about what is speaking. Just display whatever the synth is supposed to be
saying. It would be up to whatever speech engine is on the old machine to
do the talking. Write it in perl so it would be portable, run on any
platform.
Wow. I'm going to have to try this when I get home tonight. Connect a
null modem cable to the port my doubletalk would normally be connected to
and see what comes out on a terminal emulator on another machine. Then,
write a perl script to send the same string to the double talk and see
how it responds. And then write a perl script to say that same thing to
the linux box on the other side of the null modem cable. Keep doing that
until I essentually have a doubletalk LT emulator script.
Might take me more than one night though.
