I have this computer where my bns will not talk after I issue the command to boot linux and the proper synth keyword. The speakup boot flopy recognizes the command because I hear the disk spin but my bns doesn't talk. I no it isn't the floppy because I had no problems when I tested it on another machine. Could this computer have its cerial port disabled and if so, how would I check for that? Is there something else I could try entering from the boot prompt to get this talking? Sean
