[Blindapple] TexTalker GS bootup wav file

[joseph.norton at gmail.com]

Hi:

 

When I boot up the GS, I still get a message indicating that disk emulation needs work.

 

However, with this version of TexTalker GS, it does not give a bunch of ats after the “textalker installed” message as the 1.3 from Asimov.net does.  Also, it boots up and works under the rom version 03 (which didn’t work with the 1.3 version).

 

Also, it works beautifully with Davex and I think with the Words, Braille and Term programs, as well as the Filer and Convert programs, all from the words disks.  I cannot figure out how to get it to work under basic.system.

 

I’m going to see if I can find out a little more, but, this goes back more than 20 years, so don’t know how much I can find out.

 

Will update if or when things change.

Hi,

 

That sounds like MAME's Apple IIgs support has gotten at least a bit better than it has been for years. I'll have to try it again.

I don’t expect much.

 

I don’t even know if I’m doing things the preferre way.

 

But, this seems to be consistent.

 

Let you all know what else happens.

Hi,

Looks like you’ve got the hard part working.

Now that you’ve got speech you should be able to read files off of disks if the system will allow you to mount them.

As far as getting any real use out of it unless you are trying to learn how things were done with some old source code you aren’t really going to be able to connect the vm to anything.

It is cool that you were able to get the thing talking though.

 

Tom

Hi list:

 

Give a listen to this 1 min 25 sec Wav file.  This was achieved in MAMEUI running in Windows 10.

Not sure what else I can do with it, but, we’ll see.
