This is a common question so I'll repeat it - the dectalk PC is NOT supported. The reason for this is that the dec PC needs to have its software loaded into it by the screenreader before it will work. As it is right now, speakup synthesiser drivers must be initialised at boot time and of course, there are no filesystems mounted from which to load the dec PC's internal software in order to send it to the synth. I presume that the size of this software makes putting it in speakup itself prohibitive. It's situations like this that provide strong insentive for modularisation of speakup drivers, as people have been wanting dec PC support for as long as I can remember, at least since the external dectalks became supported. I should add that the doubletalk PC is well and truly supported, it being the first synth to work with speakup. Geoff.
