as com8 both com8 run your screen reader all com1 traffic gets piped
to the braille n speak speech server running in a windows7 or
windows8 command prompt and voila you have speech through espeak but
your dos screen reader either in vmware or virtualbox or dosbox
thinks its using a braille n speak on com1.

I agree tom its why I have a 32 bit os with 4gb ram but this may be
my last 32 bit os.
Sadly while I have a linux machine pulling out another unit to play
dos games when I have only the space for 1 unit is just not going
to work till I get something like a vm machine which doesn't run
vms slowly as heck.
I think our best hope is dosbox or something like it in theory we
should be able to run sound based dos games as long as we know
what to push and on exiting the emulator closes itself but screenreaders hmmm.
A lot of the older ones never used software speech, and we will
need a software speech emulator to run it all.

Hi Jacob,
The problem with the windows command prompt , particularly on 64-bit
Windows, is that it can not execute and run older 8-bit and 16-bit
applications and games. There is the reason Josh is trying to run them
under true dos such as inside a virtual machine or a Dos emulator like
Dosbox. Certain apps and games simply will not run on a modern Windows
7 or Windows 8 computer which sort of bites. However, I have found a
much easier solution than the one he uses which works for me.
Cheers!
