I looked up a little bit about DECtalk. It looks like the earlier versions used a serial port but the later versions plugged directly into an ISA slot. I assume you have one of the later versions? I can't imagine how one that works with a serial port would have a hardware compatibility issue. Hardware compatibility issues are usually either with Interrupt (IRQ) or I/O port conflicts, but IDE/ATAPI was such a widespread standard that it's hard to imagine how DECtalk would have a conflict with those. Does the information you've found give any indication as to what the conflict might actually be? -- Bret Johnson It's oft been said that the Devil is in the Details. I disagree completely. I say God is in the Details -- the Devil is in the Fluff. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
