That did occur to me as well. The blazer manual doesn't mention
anywhere that a ieee1284 cable is required. I have in fact used it
under a windows screen reader using a standard non-bidirectional cable
without issues. If a synthesizer supports indexing, would speakup
enable it when using a serial port, and disable it when using a
parallel port, or a different approach?
