Where does one get one of those? They're not very common.

I'm currently running speakup with speechd-up, speech-dispatcher, and
flite as the synth, on a 266 Mhz AMD k5-based laptop, which seems to be
roughly the same CPU as the one used in the Soekris machines, and it's
running just fine without problems.

BTW, I've just had a look at the Soekris web site, and didn't see the
4500 mentioned anywhere. The lowest 4500 model mentioned is the 4501,
and that comes only with a 133 Mhz 486 class CPU.
