I'll say this, just so it's out there. When either listening to the screen or reading the screen with the read screen review command with the bns, I frequently observe the bns skipping parts of text. I recall this happening since the early 2000s on single core or multicore systems. It's either how speakup handshakes with the bns, or the lack of indexing in the bns driver, or both. I don't believe this has anything to do with garbled SMP output, but am stating this for the record, since the question of if this happens with serial synths was asked. It would be good to get input from people with serial synths other than the bns driver. > > I doubt it, because as I say, I have never seen it in review mode.

It has four cores, and seems to have a 26x82 console. I generally don't notice the garbled SMP bug discussed here on that setup. Very rarely, the speech will drop a character here or there, but it's so infrequent that I hardly notice it. I've noticed the character drop when using space bar in a pager, but I don't recall seeing it when reading the full screen with the review command. Just now, I logged in on my rpi, and noticed a character dropped as it was reading the banner screen where /etc/motd is displayed after login. I then brought up the dmesg output in less. I went through three screen fulls just by pressing the space bar twice, and no part of the speech was missing. Hope this is useful in some way.
