Hi, Kirk!
 How long do you wait before you give on synth's initialization? For
instance, it seems as though Speakup doesn't wait too long to receive a
response from synth. I noticed that on some synths, it might be my problem
as well, if the cable is damaged a bit, it may take longer for the synth to
send a response string.
What would you say?
Regards,
Vic

PS BTW, neither DOS nor WIndow-eyes screen readers have no problems with
that.
