at a loss

[Sean McMahon]

To this list of questions I add, is your serial port enabled properly in the
bios?I've seen it happen where my bns won't startup doing a fresh install on one
computer but it will work fine on another computer using the same installation
media.  How about a more basic question, how's the condition of your cable?
What happens when you move the cable connecting the synth to the computer around
a little.

and outs of the linux OS has all but failed.  I have copied the installation
howto into braille to the letter as ready reference, done all that is required
of me at the preparation stage, even did almost nothing else but tried to get
FC3 installed for the past 2 days, but nothing seems to work.  I can't even get
past the first stage of text installation simply because speakup refuses to talk
to my Dectalk express.  I cannot say if my dectalk express is the source of the
problem because it works very well with Wineyes and jaws even.  I am totally
stuck now and don't know what else I can do.  Unless someone who has installed
linux with the dectalk express synth is willing to help me, i'll have to shelf
the idea of installing linux, at least for the foreseeable future.  Cheers!
