[Blindapple] Apple BBS

[Tony Baechler]

Hi all.  I played with kegs for several hours.  It is not hopeless.  I did 
eventually get sound sort of working.  It wouldn't boot or let me into the 
control panels, but I got it to beep when I randomly entered things.  This 
looks like it might work.

All that would need to happen for it to be useful to us is to have it dump 
the Apple output to the debug window.  When you start it, it pops up a new 
window with the actual emulation but keeps a text window open also for 
debug info.  If it would write the Apple screen to that window instead, 
similar to A2, we would have an IIgs with sound.  Because of how it is 
compiled under Windows, it should work fine with speech.  I am very hopeful 
about this and I think this might be the best solution yet that we've come 
across.

If Jayson doesn't hear from the developer soon, I might try writing to 
him.  One major problem I had was trying to get the Command and Option keys 
to work.  Apparently you do Control, Command, Escape to get into the IIgs 
control panel.  I tried every key combination I could think of but nothing 
worked.  F1 and F2 are supposed to work instead, but the start menu always 
came up no matter what I tried.  I am not giving up though.  Also, I had 
something odd with 0.91.  It wouldn't run under Windows.  It said that the 
program wouldn't run in DOS mode even though I was running within 
Windows.  I recompiled it and it seemed to work but F4 to enter the 
configuration panel didn't do anything.

My father just had major surgery so I don't know how much time I'll have to 
play with this.  I think I'll be at the hospital quite a bit so my time 
will be limited, but I am fairly sure that somehow or other kegs could be 
made to work for us.  I am certainly hoping.
