talking bios?

[Garrett Klein]

Hey Igor,

A friend of mine was looking into getting a motherboard last year that had a
sort of bios screen reader built into it. Unfortunately, the URL that I have
doesn't work anymore, I can give you the model for it though. It's called
the 845GE Chipset Pentium 4 Mother BoardBRP4GE-V. YOu could probably find
something on this via google... HTH.

Subject: talking bios?


Hi all. I saw an article on Slashdot about a week or 2 ago about the
Linuxbios project, which can be found at linuxbios.org. This poses some
interesting ideas for the future...Theoretically, wouldn't it be possible
to integrate Speakup into the kernel that is used on the Rom chip? Also, I
think its a good idea to write to all the major motherboard manufacturers
about the Linuxbios project. And also explain how including a talking bios
in future motherboards would benifit the blind/visually impaired community.
And also explain how current bioses are inaccessible to visually impaired
people. What iare everyone's thoughts on this?
