Hi listers, To add to this: Bryan's medadisk doesn't talk on my mac. I just burned Bryan's talking windows pre-installation environment, which is what it's called, on to a dvd, and I booted it. Of course, mac hardware is not pc hardware, and although Bryan did include a vast number of audio drivers into his environment, I'm suspecting that a mac audio driver is not yet in there. The only reason I'm thinking this, is that after booting the mega disk in my mac, it did spin up, spin down, spin up etc, so it must have booted a long way, but after a few minutes, the drive went silent, and I did not have speech from NVDA through my mac mini speaker. If anyone has more details or a way to fix this, please write back on the list, so we all can benefit. Bryan has done an amazing piece of work and I'm impressed that he got this far already. I'm hoping we as mac users will be able to use this on our machines as well, so if I'm overlooking something, and his mega disk does work on a mac, or at least maybe a few up till now, please let us know.
