If I just hit Enter with no command, there is still the same delay before I hear the prompt repeated. Also, one very annoying thing that zsh does is repeat the first key back to me, so "ls" becomes "lls" etc. I don't recall a delay with key echo but I didn't spend a lot of time with it. > Hmmm, ok, guess it's a sysresccd bug in that case then.

Therefore, by the time I hit a key and hear speech, it's well into the boot process. I could turn off quiet mode but I understand speech won't shut up until some time later when keyboard support is activated. That's why I can't be more clear on where the problem starts, I was following the instructions on the info page. > Ok, I tested with a doubletalk pc, and a bns, and didn't see this > issue with either synth under 1.1.0, and the 1.1.1 betas.

I haven't tried the System Rescue CD with the Doubletalk LT. That was the grml CD that had a slight delay but I think that's in the Doubletalk firmware. I forgot that I hadn't tried the rescue CD. I can try it if it would help. Also, not that it matters, but the machine with my DEC Express only has 256 MB of RAM and is a fairly slow processor. I don't have a problem on the same machine with the same synth in Debian or grml though. I have no objection to putting my posts on other web sites etc. I do appreciate being told though, so thanks for asking. In regards to licensing, I prefer the BSD license but I'm not going to make an issue about it. I'm not planning on enforcing any legal rights regarding my posts anyway since they're already in a public archive. I realize that I'm far from perfect and want people to have the right to correct my mistakes if they have better or more correct information. Again, thanks for asking first.
