Hi Zack,
The characters in CP-437 with the high-bit set do map to unicode
characters, but many of those Unicode characters are well outside of the
range [0, 255].
And I don't know much about how exactly the kernel deals with Unicode
internally.  I.E., what Speakup sees in screen memory.
I don't think there's any kind of pass-through option that will work
here.
