[Ham-Computers] RE: XP HE And DOS Screen Reader

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Aaron,

I already have the 64 Meg flash memory stick for the USB port. I did not 
install it when we did this originally because of the issues the computer 
was having with the sudden loss of audio. It took us, how long? Eighteen 
months to resolve that? (Not you, but Compaq)

Since the loss of my primary computer, the one waiting for the new HD to be 
installed, I have absolutely got to come up with some way of accessing DOS 
written files using an external speech synthesizer driven by a DOS screen 
reading software program. What is in the JFW software is about useless for 
reading command prompt screens.

Just to refresh your memory Aaron -
