talking bios?

[Ralph W. Reid]

This project reminds me of the old Speaqualizer (possibly spelled
wrong) speech synthesizer.  The Speaqualizer was all hardware, so it
was capable of reading everything that showed up on a text screen,
including all prompts and info which showed up before the OS was
loaded.  This new project sounds promising--I hope it goes well.  The
project seems to have some serious support, so I think I will keep
up with it as time allows.  Thanks, and have a _great_ day!
