Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

hi, oh okay. I am about to write you privately. One of the members on the surv pc as in survivors list is in Spain. He has a good list of places from which you can obtain the king of computer you desire with the ports that may work best. Thanks for the textaccess tip will see what I can

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Hi, Yes, I've heard of the Reading Edge. I was aware of the fact that it used DECtalk, but I didn't know it could act as an external synthesizer. TextAssist doesn't require dosbox, it just needs a SoundBlaster. I meant that the talking dosbox package included the synthesizer. You can probably

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

TextAssist is not too hard to find. You can get a pre-built dosbox with Win 3.1 and TextAssist somewhere in grossgang.com. He has a lot of old DOS access software. I'm in Spain, so that would probably be kind of a problem. :) I'm guessing you're using an external DECtalk synthesizer

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Yeah, ever since I realized DOSUSB wasn't going to help me and VSB would not run any tts software I've been thinking of getting a dedicated machine for DOS but I don't really know where to look. Does anyone know of something not too expensive that has at least one RS232 port and a

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Oh okay. I have no idea, it might I believe someone suggested asking on the source list for it. I have always gotten my machines custom built, one can still find those with cereal ports. as I use dos exclusively It has been worth it to me to keep the door open. I did not know all those sound

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

I do, but none of the computers that I have have a serial port. I was hoping that this would be an alternative but I guess not. > On 18 Feb 2016, at 23:43, Karen Lewellen wrote: > > Understood, > May I ask what the problem is then? Do you not have an external

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Understood, May I ask what the problem is then? Do you not have an external synthesizer? I do not use freedos, but a later package of ms dos 7.1 I have no issues, but I am not using a sound card. On Thu, 18 Feb 2016, Guillem León wrote: I have heard about talking dosbox, in fact I

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

I have heard about talking dosbox, in fact I helped with the project and I made one of the speech synthesis helper applications, but I was hoping to be able to have dos running natively without emulation. I have no sight whatsoever so I need speech output, and the only ways of speech output

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Hi Guillem, granted I am unsure what your goals may be, but have you tried a relatively new project talking dosbox? http://batsupport.com/unsupported/dosbox/00_README.html I can tell you nothing about it save that it is supposed to allow for speech via dosbox using the sound card etc.

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

I got it to work through DOSBOX in Linux Xubuntu, but not in FreeDOS on an Acer Laptop. It was cool to hear sound in Xargon and PakuPaku. Will try to run it today on a HP/Compaq DC5700 desktop after I switch my audio cables. On Thu, Feb 18, 2016 at 1:39 AM, Guillem León

Re: [Freedos-user] HX DOS extender with AC97 and HDA soundcard support

Hi. Yeah, only reason I asked is because right now my only way of running DOS is actually through dosbox, which would make testing it kind of impossible. Before I dualboot my PC I want to be sure I'll be able to use it. If I don't have speech synthesis I can't use the computer. I would run the

Just for clarification, does this only work with programs loaded inside dosbox inside HX, or is there any way to get it to work under DOS directly, with HX loaded but without DOSbox? I'm still thinking of dualbooting one of my machines with DOS but I need some way of doing either USB serial
