M20/40 status.

[Arthur Pirika]

Hi, I don't want to start a synth war here [smile], but the Double talk
chip, which is used on the m20/40, isn't too bad, much better than the
blt 2000! But, yes, I would *love* to see the bn supported, even though,
JFW doesn't support it, and the m series does! [grin].

Speaking of synths, are there *any* hardware synths that work with
speakup that are still in production, a part from the ones on
notetakers? Just curious.

Thanks,
Arthur Pirika.

Hello Speakup,

     Yes, despite the documentation, the latest revision of the M20/40
     firmware will allow you to use it as a speech synthesizer when
     you choose the BNS option in Speakup. I don't believe the Keynote
     SA is supported, but the older internal card works with Speakup.
     I'd love to be wrong as I have a Braille Note and would much
     rather listen to it read the Linux console than a Braille Lite
     2000.
