Too bad that nobody has developed a good software synth for DOS. I messed with SbTalker, long, long ago, but that did not work all that well.

Another tantalizing option, imho, would be to run FreeDOS from within a Linux installation. I believe it should be possible to set FreeDOS up to use asap, vocal-eyes, or prodos, etc. This is on my list of things to look at, if and when I can get around to it, because of a need to flash devices, like my laptop's bios, using a DOS executable. Unfortunately, it's a low priority, and I've only come as far as reading the FreeDOS installation docs.
