Join these lists, they often have these old synthesisers on offer -

I sold an Apollo for less then ?40 though the decktalk go for more.
Buy old second hand pc base units to hook them too as they will not be
supported by modern computers.
Bare in mind that Linux now has Jupiter as a software synthesiser and Orca
which runs in the Gnome desktop; and all that would work on a modern pc;
but not talk form boot to power down though.
Zipspeak is the version that comes out the box talking, though think there
are other versions; I need to research that.

Subject: hardware synthesizer
Hello,
Now I have enough money to buy a hardware synthesizer. As you know they
are
not so cheep. The last year some kind person pointed me to www.axsol.com
to
check for such an animal. The synth
that works under Linux, DOS and Windows is DekTalk USB, but it needs RS232
serial port in order to work with DOS and Linux. Does someone here uses
this
synth with linux and speakup? And is it possible this to be accomplished
without the serial port. As you know the new desktops, laptops and
netbooks
don't have such port installed. If no one has answer, please point me to
the
right place to ask such questions. Unfortunately the person I wrote to
from
the axsol.com don't know the answers.Also if you know about alternative
synthesizers or ways to use speakup from boot to shutdown I'd be glad to
hear from you
Negoslav
