Thanks for all the info you all sent into the list. I was surprised yesterday when my rehab counselor delivered the Type N Speak, instead of Braille N Speak. Same thing, only different. It came with an external disk drive, so my concern about transfering files will probably be easier. From the documents I've read so far the transfer commands come mostly from the Type N Speak and the floppies are standard ones that shouldn't pose any problem for my disk drive in my computer. Thanks for the code to add to my lilo config Janina, I'll give it a try as soon as I'm ready to play with the TNS as a synth. I'm assuming that with the aliasing that I can switch on the fly? I'll figure that out when I cross that bridge. thanks again everybody, from Keith H. Kitchen Sign: 1. A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious.
