not that its worth much, but I was talking to morrice slone one of the managers of humanware group, formally pulse data internation inc about that vary thing.
Without the  synth its useless and they don't make them anymore.
However due to this and the fact that that they have sifted to windows ce and other junk, old versions of the keysoft 1x and mastertouch 2 and 1 are technical freeware.
You can't get them from humanware though.
I assume that you could distribute them but without the synth you couldn't run them. keysoft 2 has copy protection and you would have to crack that but thats also technically freeware now pc development has stopped. All of that is useless now they stopped making synths I guess keeping those things copywrited just made no sence. Was there ever an dos screenreader that had source code or a way someone could contact someone with that?
the easiest thing would to add espeak as a synth.
would even be better if there was a blind friendly version of dosbox with the kernal rigged for speach, obviously it would need its own updates, etc, and you would have to use espeak or something but it could be a complete windows kit.

Hi Jessica,

Dos Box is a MS Dos emulator for Windows, Mac, and Linux that allows
people to run Dos applications on newer versions of Windows as well as
Mac OS and Linux. The problem with Dos Box is that it is totally
inaccessible unless you happen to own an old hardware synth and a Dos
screen reader like ASAP, Jaws for Dos, Vocal-Eyes, etc.

In any case Eamon Delux should run on the 32-bit version of Vista
because it still has 16-bit binary compatibility support. Its just
64-bit versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 that have
16-bit binary support removed for technical reasons. :D
