Ibrahim,

Both of the computers I want to try to get dosbox working on have RS232
serial ports so I don't need an adaptor.  And I don't think speakup
works with USB to serial adaptors.

What I do know though is that speakup can auto-detect a hardware synth.

Would I be right in assuming the protocol of a Juno is the same, or
possibly a sub-set of the Apollo?
