Alex, Looking at the readme.txt file, it would appear that the adaptec SCSI cards are not supported by the speakup.s kernel. The kernel you need is adaptec.s. The standard iso image of Slackware 10.1 does not include support for Speakup in the adaptec.s kernel. However, if you download my speakup modified iso image: ftp://ftp.pcdesk.net/slackware/speakup-modified-10.1 You should be able to boot adaptec.s using speakup with no problems. Equal causes can produce very unequal effects. Joseph C.
