You don't have to use a DOS screen reader, but you might want to if you're running an application with complex screens like WordPerfect 5.1, for example. The advantage would be the special, application specific "set" files prepared for that venerable old DOS app. Of course, we might just be able to duplicate that kind of functionality with Speakup 2.x. As for the DOS setup ... I doubt it. If your host system doesn't know how to talk to the hardware device, how is it supposed to map calls from the guest OS? I believe this is a general rule for emmulation. jude dashiell writes: > From: jude dashiell <dashielljt at gmpexpress.net> > > No, not a silly question.
