Hello. Something i am thinking about is the possibility to emulate a hardware synth with a second computer running a software synth. The software part of it seams easy, but how would the two machines be connected? Please tell me, how are existing hw synths connected? Do they use proprietary pci cards or do they use existing plugs, like parallel or serial port, usb, ethernet? *Can* speakup use any of the mentioned ports? Ethernet would be my favorite. The aim of the thing would be to allow installation over speakup, before the sound system on the target is initialized. Thanks for hints, pointers and thoughts. Robert Epprecht
