[DECtalk] Dosbox

[Blake Roberts]

You can download Dosbox with screen readers included here:
http://batsupport.com/unsupported/dosbox/talking_dosbox.zip
Some very smart blind people managed to get three Dos screen readers working
in Dosbox, two of which use sbtalker. For more information about starting
them, review the readme at:
http://batsupport.com/unsupported/dosbox/README.html
These and other Dos files are kindly being hosted by Tony Baechler. Thanks
Tony! As for copying something into Dosbox i.e. Text Assist, simply copy a
folder to the drives folder of Dosbox.

Hello,

How do you get dos box and boot something into it? I think I
downloaded dosbox once and it wasn't accessible.

Thanks,

Brandon

It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before
you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the
moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say
"this is good, this is bad," you have already jumped onto the thought
process.
