Voice Synthesizers

[Brent Harding]

Was this new rom that caused the speech to do this, or were they using an
extremely old double talk? Are the speech tables loaded in to the double
talk on that chip? This happened with jfw, for win 3.11, which I never
really liked anyways. It was a machine they had set up for me to use in the
lab, seeing at that time they didn't have 95 on all the machines, I'd have
chosen linux if it was my decision, but if I printed something written with
pico, it wouldn't have the right formatting that ms word does. I don't use
that system any more, as I don't use that old lab now anyways.
