speakup question

[John covici]

The problem is that speakup needs to be alive before modules, before
a file system and before much of anything except the console is
around.

I understand Kirk is working on a scheme to allow modules, but if its
a Dectalk pc, it won't talk at boot, but will have to wait till a
file is downloaded into it (at least that is my understanding, I
don't have one of those).

Because my plan at least for the dectalk driver was to write the standard module code, and then dump the rest of the driver-specific code into the new re-written version. I am doing this for two reasons. 1. I want to keep the changes as error free as possible. 2. I don't want to have problems after writing new code. And I think most of the driver is fine the way it is. I have other reasons for modularizing the driver, including a project I am currently working on that requires this.
