Hi Scott, I followed your instructions using option 4 of my startup disk, then with no sppeech feedback, I changed to the directory on my hard drive containing the rawrite application as well as the bootdisk image. I then gave the rawrite.exe dectlk.img a: command. The a drive began working and was done in a few minutes. I then left the disk in the drive and rebooted. First I got the normal bios beep, and then the floppy drive ran and I got a new second beep which I'm assuming is the boot prompt. At that point I typed: mount root=/dev/hda1 speakup_ser=0 rw Then the a drive began working again for several mintes, and when it stopped there was no speech, and control alt delete wouldn't even reboot the system I had to manually power it down and restart. I don't know what else to try at this point. Fro my memory of trying this about a year and a half ago on the old laptop I had this was all I did and the system booted easily with speech even if I got the partition statement wrong. What else can I try? -Matthew -----Original Message----- From: speakup-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-admin at braille.uwo.ca]On Behalf Of The Electronicman Scott Berry Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 15:30 To: speakup at braille.uwo.ca Subject: Re: speakup.i parameters Kirk, I know that I had to use a completely Dos mode for my rawrite to work right. the Windows me Startup disk will work fine for that remembering which way the menu is set up though is vital cause you can either get Dos support with cd rom support as well as well as minimal boot. If the rawrite file is on the hard drive minimal boot which is number four in their menu would work fine for Dos operations such as this particular one. I am running Windows Me also. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
