Are these being used? Yes, I still have an old box here with an isa slot with a doubletalk pc. I mainly use it these days to access other linux boxes, because I'm very fond of my doubletalk, and don't want to give it up if I don't have to. I have nothing against espeak/espeakup, it's just that hearing that "doubletalk pc found" message invariably brings a smile to my face. Also, maybe it's my imagination, but that doubletalk pc on old hardware seems to still be slightly more responsive than espeak/espeakup on modern hardware. I have also idly toyed with the idea of getting one of these: http://www.arstech.com/item--usb2isa.html and found myself wondering if speakup could be made to drive a doubletalk pc through this converter.
