sometimes it's a very long while, when I first installed I rebooted a couple of times when using the downloaded root and boot disks. this isn't the way you can expect it to work after all the install happens though. Also I use a transport in dos and linux and when switching over from dos I have to shut down the synth and turn it on to get a complete initialization before speakup will speak to me. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of John Covici Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 2:33 PM To: speakup at speech.braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: not working yet I wonder if your failure to get speech when booting is because of one or more of the following: (1) You booted your DOS system with speech loaded and then tried to run loadlin -- the speakout has a problem with this. The other possibility which comes to mind is that you are not doing the corrrect boot sequence which is to boot the disk, wait till it stops going, hit enter and then you hear the disk for a while and then it should start talking. Hope this helps. -- John Covici covici at ccs.covici.com _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
