Hey Igor, A friend of mine was looking into getting a motherboard last year that had a sort of bios screen reader built into it. Unfortunately, the URL that I have doesn't work anymore, I can give you the model for it though. It's called the 845GE Chipset Pentium 4 Mother BoardBRP4GE-V. YOu could probably find something on this via google... HTH.

I saw an article on Slashdot about a week or 2 ago about the Linuxbios project, which can be found at linuxbios.org. This poses some interesting ideas for the future...Theoretically, wouldn't it be possible to integrate Speakup into the kernel that is used on the Rom chip? Also, I think its a good idea to write to all the major motherboard manufacturers about the Linuxbios project. And also explain how including a talking bios in future motherboards would benifit the blind/visually impaired community. And also explain how current bioses are inaccessible to visually impaired people. What iare everyone's thoughts on this? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
