Hi,

I just wanted to report that the triple talk usb when using the serial cable is found by using the ltlk synth.  I'm having a few other problems I'm working on at this point so will test further when I get redhad up and 
running a little better, now I need to get some learning under my belt.

Kirk and all,

Since that works, then could the code be extended to run it through the usb port as well?
The kernels work with usb keyboards and mice if core support is built-in, so why not a synth.

Hi,  I reported that it came up talking, I have no idea if other things work on it such as speach rate and other...  I'll try to to test this asap and report back to the list.

Because keyboard and mouse support is provided by the BIOS
and it is *only* keyboard and mouse support.
As soon as the kernel activates any USB support the keyboard and mouse support
provided by the bios is turned off.
If you do not compile support in for usb keyboard, you loose your console when USB support loads.
Also, the support required is for USB Serial support something the kernel does not
support at boot. Until speakup is modularized
and there is some hook to the USB serial driver
you are out of luck.
If  you think USB is simple and straight forward from an interface perspective you are dead wrong :-)
Before USB became so popular back in 98 we called it the  useless
Serial Bus since until win98 it wasn't as usable.
Sure there was 95OSR2.5 and the USB suplement for 95 but they weren't as stable as the 98SE
usb stack.

Regards, Kerry.

Just a note to back up Kerry on the USB issue. I think there were a total
of about 5 devices supported in win95 with usb. In the last 2 years, I
haven't seen any supported in win95. Thus, the interface isn't as easy as
made to be.
