Apolo synthasizer problem

[William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123]

Kirk nailed this one.  HZ is set to 512.  To compensate, you'll need to 
change the timing variables for Speakup.  In the /proc/speakup/apollo 
directory, you'll se files called jiffy_delta and delay_time, among others.  
Note that I might not have spelled apollo the way it is in the 
/proc/speakup directory.  Use the "cat" command to display the value 
contained in the two pseudo files.  For example: "cat jiffy_delta" and "cat 
delay_time", without the quotes, of course.  To change a value, use the 
"echo" command.  For example: "echo 15 > jiffy_delta" and "echo 80> 
delay_time".  Using cat, find the value of jiffy_delta.  Multiply the value 
by five.  For example, if the value of jiffy_delta is 3, make it 15.  Then, 
find the value of delay_time.  Divide it by 5.  For example, if you find 
400, make it 80.  If this works, you can write a script to make this 
happen on boot.
