Hello and happy new year!
A friend of mine has a good old Apollo hardware speech synth, which we
want up and running using speakup.
It's attached via a USb -> serial adapter, along with a Handy Tech
braille display, which is attached directly to the PC via USB.
Speakup doesn't start.
idim@peace:~$ sudo dmesg|grep apollo

Here's the tty content from dmesg after disconnecting the braille display:
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled

Could someone figure out why this doesn't work?
