Hay list, First, I was wondering if someone agrees with me here. I have a double talk synthesizer (the external) when I install debian, I use the ltlk driver if that helps. anyway, it has its moods, sometimes it talks, and sometimes it doesn't, I tried running the boot cd, and it didn't talk, I tried plugging it into windows, and it didn't talk. It always talks when I turn it on though. I am thinking there is a short in the serial cable. Is there something I can do for it? I can't afford a new one. It took me long enough to find a comp that I could put linux on. If not, does anyone have synthesizers? if so, how much would you be willing to sell them for? Thanks,
