Hi Karen,

You're absolutely right.
I had only been able to find the previously mentioned drivers however, and
as they were actually for Dos, Windows might be a bit of a stretch now that
I think about it.
I just looked through the files again, and there was indeed also some more
files I'd completely forgotten to add to the archive, including a driver for
OS/2, both for DECtalk PC and DECtalk Express. The files also includes a
driver for Windows 95.
Also, as it was discussed previously, I know that a DECtalk Express driver
for Linux exists and is in use. However, since my knowledge of Linux is next
to none, I have no idea if it would be possible to add the driver to the
archive, or if it's build into the screen reader used, as is the case with
JAWS for Windows.
If you, or anybody else, has knowledge of this, please let me know, and I'd
be happy to add any missing drivers to the archive.

About manuals, I've archived everything I've been able to find, including
the following:
DECtalk DTC-01 owners manual
DECtalk DTC-01 reference manual
DECtalk DTC-03 owners manual
DECtalk PC reference manual
DECtalk USB user manual
DECtalk PC and Express user manuals

If you have some not yet in the archive, please let me know.

Kind regards:
Aksel

Yes, but windows is not the only operating system. Nor is it the only system
dectalk software and hardware was created to support.
