Whenever you return to the problem, try testing the DECtalk card with
one of the demonstration programs included with the software (after all
of the necessary software is loaded onto the card by running the batch
file).

Hi folks,
Jason, I have yet to find a reading edge driver for Linux, that alone
keeps me from seriously considering the operating system.
It would run on DOS which is what I use.
For now though, as I cannot tell what the sound issue might be, this
project will wait.
Indeed though all the screen readers I have checked, still need to
try ASAP run the .bat file as it were, all finding the card too.
At the moment my main source of synthesis is doing better, what a
difference changing a cable can make!
Thanks all,
Kare

I note no install, does that mean I need only say run dt.bat for the

i. e. place that in my autoexec.bat?
If I remember correctly, and this was a long time ago, you simply
have to run the batch file, then whatever screen reader you plan to
use. The batch file loads a large amount of software onto the card,
and runs it.
If you're planning to use this under Linux as well, I would be
astonished if it were supported by modern kernels. In fact, I don't
know whether Linux still runs on x86 machines with ISA slots.
