If you downloaded speakup today, You should do it again.
I put an old version of main.c with debug printing in it.

He'd still need to edit linux.bat to give the correct root drive/partition to the kernel.

You can just replace the vmlinuz file in the root of the zipslack
distribution with a renamed copy of one of the boot disks and use loadlin.
So just copy ltlk or ltlk.img, I cannot remember exactly into the root and
rename it.

Saqib,
Since we're on the topic of zipspeak, is there a projected date for when zipspeak 8.0 will be available for download from somewhere? Thanks.

Actually, zipspeak 7.1 still uses speakup 0.09 disks, where there is a different bootdisk for each synth.

If the particular SCSI device is not supported right away by zipspeak, you should be able to load a module for it right off the bat.

Re: oops

[Saqib Shaikh]

What I would recommend you do is this:

>From the ftp site, also download the file ltlk (it doesn't have a file
extention).  You should already have all the files in c:\linux or
some_drive:\linux.

Then edit c:\linux\linux.bat.  You'll need a line like this:
\linux\loadlin \linux\ltlk root=something rw
In the above, replace something with your hard disc.  I get the impression
that you know enough about computers to understand what I'm going to say
next:

hda is the first ide hard disc, hdb the second ide drive etc.
similarly you have sda and sdb for scsi discs.
then you also need the partition number, which start at one.  So hda1 is the
first partition on the first ide drive, and sdb3 is the third partition on
the second scsi drive.  Do you get all this?
in any case replace this in the line i gave you and comment out / delete the
rest of linux.bat.  so to recap your linux.bat file should look something
like
\linux\loadlin \linux\ltlk root=/dev/hda1 rw

Hope this helps and don't hesitate to contact me for further help.

Re: oops

[Janina Sajka]

I'm not a zipspeak user, but ...

My recollection is that you can start from your hard disk. You will need 
to shutdown to MS DOS, or restart to a C: prompt by any of the methods 
that accomplish that.

You've probably put zipspeak into its own directory per instructions. So, 
go ahead and cd to that drive and directory.

Look for batch files. I believe there's at least one. You'll need to tweak 
it for your synth and serial port, or simply issue the appropriate command 
with arguments.

Major Tip: In linux, serial ports are ttyS0 for DOS/Windows com1, ttyS1 
for com2, etc. Note there's a capital letter S in there. That fact is 
important.

Your speechsynthesizer is designated ltlk by speakup. So, that part of the 
command becomes speakup_synth=ltlk.

Good luck, and let us know how you do.

PS: I've no idea what scsi support is, or is not, in the zipspeak distro, 
but recognize that zipspeak is a trimmed down, slimmed down, kind of 
beast. So, if it isn't recognized, that doesn't mean linux doesn't support 
it.

Another thing I forgot to mention in my post. I'm running a doubletalk lt
on my com1 port. Being that I've never tried any os not produced by ms, I'm
not sure how to start ZipSpeak with the doubletalk lt. I checked the
readme.1st and the zipspeak.txt files in the same ftp folder as the
zipspeak.zip file, and I gathered that I had to download the lt's boot disk
image and create a boot floppy with that image file decoder (the file's
name escapes me). Is this correct, or is there a shorter way for a linux
novice to start the lt?
