Just realized I emailed Dan off list.
You can see FreeDOS running on an hp t5745 here

Hi frank,
No need to apologize, its a understandable mistake.
Text to speech may be one of the most abusing phrases for how adaptive
technology actually works that I can personally think of, speaking for
myself of course.
Indeed there are ways to, as you outline, send characters to a synthesiz

Oh I see now :-)
The DOS screen just displays what it gets from the SSH client
program, effectively a te
Hi there,
Will pass on the simulation suggestion.
where I wish to ask a question is about your sense that a screen reader,
which is not only a a passing of character strings from the computer to a

synthesizer will not be able to read the Linux Console?
In theory, I am doing somethin

plausible RS232 UART emulation:
I'd hazard a guess that qemu-kvm does strive to deliver this:

Regarding maintenance of Motorola radios:
I used to have a colleague in that business.
He always kept an old PC with a legacy serial port (16C550A UART)
running Windows 95 I believe. In those "pre-NT" Windows editions, DOS
apps still had direct access to hardware, DOS style.
I understand that som
Eric,
You are welcome...given your focus has nothing to do with the question
though I will skip the rest.
The question, for as a reminder, is if freedos has the ability to
simulate a serial port, if the person intends to use a USB device, i. e.
their computer has no serial port.The answer was
Thank you for the license warning, Karen. The github page links e.g.:

So it is probably not a good idea to use Dectalk as Linux synth.

Eric,
To prevent anyone from trying one of your suggestions, the dectalk
software is *very* legally copyright protected. While that project exists, it
cannot be used for software work in any operating system, Linux or
anything else without permission. something I imagine is stated on GitHub.
Hi Karen, I have checked the web regarding Dectalk USB:
https://www.tegakari.net/en/2017/10/dectalk_usb/ shows an image of a
small device indeed having both USB and serial port connectors, as well
as a 6 volt power connector. you can also run it for 1 hour from a 9
volt battery.
However, s

I agree with Eric. Something like an HP t5740, Dell Optiplex 9010 or 9020
or 790, is about $25 on eBay, runs DOS well, will run DOS well off a cheap
4-16GB USB drive, and will also come with 9-pin serial. The Dells might
even be free on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Hi Luke,
I am looking for information about getting a USB to RS-232 adapter to work
in the FreeDOS environment. This is the first step in a project to find an
alternative in programming legacy Motorola handheld and squad mobile radios.
I guess the experts here are Bret Johnson and Georg Pott
