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?
