Old keynote SA manual is here:

It would appear that it wants to run at 38400 but some software tries to
force it to run 9600, which is a bad thing.

Hi everyone
About a week ago David Truong asked me to test my doubletalk lt with
the keyspan serial adapter in fusion. Here is what I've found:
I can confirm that output through the hardware synthesizer seems to be
garbled and disjointed, though it is somewhat intelligible. I'm trying
to track down what's going on, I suspect it could be an issue with
handshaking and/or baud rates. Time to dig deep into Windows serial
settings--ah, reminds me of the old dialup days.
I don't have a dedicated Windows PC, if I did I would be able to
determine if it's something going on with Fusion or with the serial
adapter, or possibly the combination of the two. That being said, I
don't intend to get a Windows PC just to test this, and don't feel any
great need to install Windows via bootcamp.
If anyone has a windows Pc, the Keyspan USA19HS adapter, and a
hardware synthesizer could you please run a test by hooking up the hw
synth to the serial adapter and let us know your results, and also
what hardware synthesizer and screen reader used? I'm testing with a
doubletalk lt using window-eyes 6.1, and I believe David has a Keynote
SA, if I'm remembering correctly that is. If I'm right about the
keynote SA, is it an older or a newer model? The older models ran at
38400bps while the later models run at 9600bps as the doubletalk does.
I'm interested in tracking this down, as the combination of Linux and
fusion with this serial adapter doesn't seem to cause any odd results
at all--the synthesizer works fine in Linux.
