Hi Alex I have an older DecTalk, with the 4.6 firmware. I don't know how old mine is, but it is black, and the dimensions are about: 1 inch by 3 inches by 6 inches and it's on/off switch is in the front right hand corner. So if that tells you anything, perhaps you have the same model as I do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Snow" <alex_snow@xxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 4:41 PM Subject: Re: flashing Dectalk express? on this same topic, is the firmware in the old dectalk external (the one entended for ivr systems) upgradable? I'm just curious because I have one of those manufactured in 1982 running v2.0 of the firmware, but people I've talked to have newer boxes running 1.8 firmware.
