Anything similar to this CD that talks for blind users?

[John G. Heim]

I have also used Oralux for finding out what hardware a machine has. A few 
days ago, I bought a used scsi card and I couldn't get Winders to detect 
it. So I bbooted into Oralux and found out what card it was. Of course, as 
it turns out, there are no Win XP drivers. So I put it in my debian machine.
