How To Test For Functioning Synth

[Janina Sajka]

You should really be using the SpeakupModified FC6. It does work fine on
old machines. I have two here, including a 9-year old Pentium 2 350/Mhz
with an internal Doiubletalk that runs FC6.

With an external synth, I would just boot a DOS boot disk and echo a statement to the serial port it was on, but I'm not sure how to go about this with an internal ISA card.
