Re: Classic home computers and the blind. Your experiences
The only BNS or Braille I had access to was the one that the tennessee school for the blind had. I think you can make the BNS sing, but that is a big if. The only way I can think of doing is via basic and the major draw back there was that had to be under 61000 lines of code. I don't remember the exact number though. You will also need to remember the basic commands that control the synth in the BNS. Add to that, the synth wasn't all that great anyway. LOL. I think I still have the basic programming guide for the braille lite and BNS lining about on hard drive somewhere. Don't remember where though. I did not know that most of the programs for the BNS could run on DOS. Then again, I remember looking into the basic programming stuff at some point and seeing that .BAS source code would run on other systems with vary little change. This is going back to the good old days. If anyone is wondering, yes I can still read the old basic source files for the BNS pl atform. I might be able to through one together if I wanted. Now I wonder where I did put those files.... I guess I have to weight until I get back to my desktop computer. That should be by the end of this week. Oh yes, don't tell me that someone has a old BNS around that is still in working condition. If they do, they might want to make a recording of one so that thenewer people around know how they sound. Yes, they really do sound bad compare to today's synths. Yes, the double talk, or was that the doublespeak synth that sounds better. Anyway, the first bookport really did sound better than the BNS. Does anyone remembers those devices? LOL. I guess I am straying to far off of this topic. LOL.
