ancient speech synthesizers

[Glenn at home]

I do have a SCSI box that is full of a ISA slots, and I was going to use it 
for my Sonix card, but I never did find the right adapter for the SCSI cable 
coming out of it.
It is a metal box about 6 by 12 inches maybe, and it has a SCSI ribbon cable 
coming out and I was going to plug it into a SCSI card on my computer, if I 
could find the right adapter.
It was my last ditch effort to hear:
Artic Speech Is Ready
Now it is just sitting in my old hardware cupboard.

Even if that were done, these synths aren't being produced
anymore. Case in point, if you go to the RC systems web site,
www.rcsys.com you won't find the doubletalk pc anymore like you used
to, you'll just find the lt model, and that's a serial synth.

Like I've said before, this is an isa synth. There is no such thing as
a pci doubletalk, unless you mean the new trippletalk, which still
isn't a doubletalk. In theory, if the trippletalk pci synth doesn't
require drivers, it should also work in safe mode, but since I don't
have one to test with, I don't know for sure.

Uhhm, nope.
