well after maybe christmas I want to put all this stuff together and
get some sort of portable configuration set up so we can run this
portably included with this will be my 100 + mb dos game image.
Why do you need an old version of python and vmware.
If we could get a prebuilt version I'd do it, but I will need
assistance and I don't have the time right now anyway however I want to do it.
heck I may even do a podcast on this.

Ok, next step - installed python 2.6 as well, and installed pySerial
under it, and configured com0com, with values of COM8 and COM9, but,
when run c:\python26\python.exe emu.py com9, it throws out errors
that it can't contact port or something, but anyway.
And, think had similar version of VMWare image, but, not sure if it
had that !readme file in it like this one does, and not sure if will
also need to sort of roll back to prior version of VMWare player as
well, since currently have 9.0 running here, but, no go if serial
port emulation doesn't want to cooperate - let me play around a bit more.
Stay well

Ok, but, do you need the virtual com part to run first before
launching VMWare player, etc.?

window-eyes launches automatically and it uses the virtual braille
n speak automatically. you just type win and hit enter and
windows3.1 comes up talking.

Ok, then another question - does window eyes launch automatically
if you then launch windows, or does it also need the sort of virtual com port?
Ask since that vmWare image has pretty much the same name as the
one have here already, where window eyes doesn't seem to be
launching, since although, do hear windows startup sound if type
in win in dos bootup, and hit enter, but not much else happens?
Will download it, and try it out as well, but let's see.

Josh, where do you get that vmWare image/instance?
I want to try this out using python 2.7, since that's my
standard version here, and got hold of pyserial 2.7 version, so let's see...?

hey i found it. I found it I found it! the ultimate ms-dos
solution! download and install the following google them...
you have to google search the following!
python 2.6 found at ftp.compuconference.com
pyserial
com0com
install them! oh and you'll also need an old copy of vmware
player 4.0 get it from filehippo or from the old vinux virtual
edition. now follow these directions pasted below. run the
virtual bns server and let the command prompt window open at
all times when running the virtual machine! if you do it
right, you will hav windows3.1 and dos with window-eyes with
windows3.1 and you will also have a a registered ASAP screen
reader and it is very very responsive! asap and window-eyes
for windows3.1 will talk using espeak! and you will also get
pc speaker beeps and boop sounds through your laptop or
desktop speakers or sound card. so go have fun and use a real
live ms-dos and windows 3.1 again! have fun!
What you'll need
*python 2.6
*com0com
*pyserial
*vmware player or workstation
How to set this up
1. install python 2.6, then pyserial and finally com0com
2. When you've installed com0com, go to its start menu group,
and pick setup.
3. the tree view should be set for virtual pare 0.
4. Enter COM8 in the first field, and COM9 in the second
field, then press space/enter on the apply button.
5. close the setup utility
Ok, the serial ports are now ready. Here is how you run the
actual synth.
Go into a command prompt, then navigate where you've stored
your "virtual bns" folder. IE
cd C:\bns
If you get a prompt such as
C:\bns>
Then you're fine to actually launch the virtual braille n'
speak. to do that, assuming you've installed python in the
default location, you enter C:\python26\python emu.py com9
After a few seconds, you should hear eSpeak say "ready". just
leave the window open
Now, you can boot the virtual machine. It has a copy of ASAP
for dos access. (to run that, type C: to make sure you're on
the c drive, then enter s.bat.)
It also has a copy of windows 3.1 with window-eyes 1.1. to run
that, first make sure that you don't have ASAP running, then
just type in win. you should hear a chime and speech should come on.
