-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It's great to find out that such a thing actually exists, and it would in fact turn your doubletalk pc for example into a portable usb-connected unit. However, I see a couple of pit falls here. 1. There kernel module and user-space program are proprietary. They say the kernel module is compiled against linux 2.4.26, and that it should work with any kernel. Does anyone know for sure that a module compiled against a 2.4.x kernel will run on a 2.6.x kernel? If not, or if this should ever change with future kernel versions, you're at their mercy if you want to continue using your device via the usb port. 2. This naturally wouldn't make the doubletalk available at boot. However, booting with the none synth, and then loading the doubletalk synth should in theory make it work with speakup. On the bright side, they have their own API used to talk to the usb-connected isa device, and it looks like it does allow you to talk fully to any isa card. So, with a bit of coding in speakup, it should be useable, once speakup supports usb-connected synths in general. No, I don't naturally see a way that the current isa dtlk driver would work with this as is, for obvious reasons, obvious to techies that is. Greg P.S. Oh yeah, this puppy sure is expensive, though certainly much cheaper than that $300 motherboard.
