I am currently running a windows xp pro installation on my laptop, but, also run a debian build on a side junk pc that I have. The first thing I want to know is: Can I boot a speakup enabled linux, and use my hardware synth through vmware? Not sure how I would have to go about setting up the serial port issue, and, if that will not work, what would it take to get vmware running on linux, and, from there, running xp on the vm once I had it going? Would I be able to use screen readers in that vm, or, would I run into any trouble? I am really new to all this, so, all the help I can get would be wonderful. Thanks bunches.
