Yes, the Reading Edge certainly has a DEC-Talk synthesizer built into it. However, the version was sort of an "odd- duck", and the 25-pin female port on the rear of the machine actually has 2 9-pin connectors. So, one must have a copy of the manual to get the specs for the cable. Nick On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 10:23:33 -0800, jim grimsby wrote: Couple questions. First, I have a friend who is interested in installing linux. She has an old telesensory reading edge machine that she thinks will act as an external dectalk synth, but isn't sure. anyone know if this is true or not? Hi, it should the version of dectalk software used in that device was dectalk 3.0 not 2.0 as was the external dectalk but if memory serves me right they should be compatible. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
