Janina, I did what you suggested, but nothing works still. Here is what I did: downloaded ltlkb.bin with rawrite copied it onto an empty floppy. Connected Doubletalk LT to com1, both machines are desktops, BTW. Reboot computer, prompt comes up. I type text <ENTER> The booting process proceeds as if there is no speakup built-in. Do you have any other suggestions?
