I have been meaning to ask about non-Intel platform work with Speakup. I have a Sun Sparc20 at work that I have been trying to find a screen reader for. Not only would I like to run Speakup on a Sparc, but I would like to do it with Solaris if possible. I have been tempted for quite a while to purchase on of those DEC Multia's as well and run either True64 or Linux on. Has anyone else tried anything interesting?
