GRML and apollo synth

[al Sten-Clanton]

Hi, Michael!

Sorry I wasn't clear.  Modprobe works fine for me.  Indeed, it was nice to
switch between the TripleTalk LT and the DECTalk Express:  I don't recall
that 
GRML ever before allowed me to unload one synth for another.

I gave my GRML CD to a guy I was helping get his toes wet with Linux the
other day.  When I buy some new CD's and make another one, then I should
look for my DoubleTalk LT to see if that works on boot-up.

Hello Al,
I looked back at your message, do you mean that the TripleTalk LT doesn't
start regardless of the boot parameters or do you mean it doesn't work even
when you do a modprobe to load the module? For me the modprobe works but the
boot options don't.

I also have reported my problems through the bug contact form on the GRML
website but haven't heard anything. Like you I expect plenty of messages are
sent so Mika is probably very busy. That's why I asked here if there might
be something which should be done to ensure the boot options work which I
could check so that I could report the problem to Mika and suggest a fix.
