The doubletalk pc does use an isa slot and it is still possible to find relatively modern mother boards with "legacy" ISA slots however, I'm pretty sure the doubletalk PC is no longer available. >>From any rational viewpoint it is hard to see why anybody would go to the trouble to work on this but it would be much appreciated. I'm considering trying voxin if my current usage including the older kernel required for Doubletalk PC support becomes non-viable I guess the question is to what extent and with what difficulty could the old functional doubletalk module be made to work with the newer kernels. Not being a developer I'm sure I'd not understand that problem.
