speakup with Older doubletalk lt?

[Justin Ekis]

Hi all,

Well, maybe the third time is the charm here. This is my third attempt
at switching to Linux. I've got a new system with a lot of space free
and a copy of partition magic 8.0 on the way so I can partition my
drive. Ah, the last piece of winblows software I'll ever buy! <G> I
figure while doing something as serious as partitioning I should stay in
the environment I'm familiar with.

Anyway, I've just ordered a doubletalk lt external synthesizer for use
with speakup. When the order was done, I wondered about the very low
price so asked if this was refurbished or something. They said it was an
older model but it's still in the box with all accessories. My question
is, will speakup still work with the older doubletalk? Or do I hurry and
try to cancel the order so I can buy a different synth?

Thanks,
Justin Ekis

hat version is the firmware on the synth?  Seriously though, it really
shouldn't present a problem.  Depends on what version of the firmware is
running.

Actually for a few dollars extra the firmware might be made up-to-date.
No harm in asking.

What did you have to pay for the double talk?  Interested.

I happened to stumble on a site which sells either the doubletalk pc or
lt with all accessories for $150.00. That's less than half the price I
found elsewhere so the firmware must be quite old. Sure hope it works,
they don't take returns.
They've also got a dectalk pc2 with speaker and drivers for $175.00 
Amazing they can make deals like that.
