Hi, The problem with the Keynote SA is the firmware drivers that came with the unit. The way Windows 2000/XP/Vista communicates with hardware devices is completely different from the way Windows 95/98 did it. Windows 95/98 gave a driver programmer unrestricted access to hardware devices which

Hi Shaun, It was. Like I said earlier I purchased the Keynote Gold Multimedia software back in the Windows 95/98 days before Eloquence became a part of Jaws, Window Eyes, etc. After Eloquence became a standard part of screen readers like Jaws I never heard anything about Keynote Gold any more.

Hi Shaun, Yeah, I know what you mean about not being able to run some of the older Dos games. After my parents got our first IBM compatible system, an IBM I386, I got several Dos games. A lot of those games won't run on anything higher than a I486 running Windows 95. I actually held onto an

its the keynote gold synth on sound card. On that note tom, I suspect that stuff was released for win95 before all these new synths like realspeak came out. I never heard someone running it in anything higher than 95, no reason it shouldn't run on 95 98 and with the dos hack loaded win me.
