Greetings:
I am attempting to assist a friend who is just starting out in Linux. He
has an Apollo 2 synthesizer and is using Speakup. Unfortunately, it
appears that his Apollo 2 synthesizer is having handshaking problems or,
more accurately, problems with chopping off words in the middle and then
continuing them after more data has reached the synthesizer. While no
information is lost, words are split in such a way that makes using the
Apollo a very arduous proposition.
This problem does not exist under Windows; it seems to only surface when
Speakup is being used. Can anyone who uses the Apollo synthesizer shed
some light on this peculiarity?
Thanks in advance,
Ilko

You want to be sure you use the cable which came with the Apollo. It
has brain dead handshaking by default and does not follow standard
rs232c conventions. I used the Apollo option of speakup last night
for about six hours and had no problem with it. Now if I could say as
much for the knoppix rescue disk...

Looking back through your message again more closely, I wonder what
speed your friends computer is? Also which version of speakup
specifically are you using? Is it from a distribution disk set or the
1.5 tarball or cvs? There is a slight possibility that a very slow
computer could cause the affect you are seeing. Also if you have
patched speakup into a kernel yourself and really new kernel with the
1000 jiffiespersecond instead of the 100 could cause behaviour which
looks like your symptoms.

Hello there.
Speaking of the apollo2 synth, is it possible to change languages from
within speakup so you can have text spoken in Greek for example if it is
included with the synthesizer's rom?
Will speakup allow extended ascii characters to pass on to the apollo?
Thanks.
Nektarios.

Hello.
I am trying to patch speakup cvs from this morning in to linux 2.5.70 and
got a lot of errors related to speakup.
My question is this, if I drop back downto speakup 1.5 which is fine this
is for a custom boot cd-rom I am creating how can I compile my kernel and
patch speakup even though I do not have root on the box and so I can not
access
/usr/src/linux
instead the directory is my home directory
/home/pturnage/linux
do I have to update all the directory references from
/usr/src to /home/pturnage in the speakup/install file?
thanks
Patrick
