has anyone that has the nine pin serial port tried running the dec talk express the orginal way? and if so does it work? or do you need to buy the converter to use the device in windows 7? ----- Original Message ----- From: Adrian Spratt To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 12:15 PM Subject: JAWS, Dectalk Express and 64-bit Machines Hi. I posted a similar question before and got very helpful responses, as usual. Listers report that Dectalk Express (the old synth, not the USB version) can work with Windows 7 so long as it is hooked up with a serial-to-USB connector. However, everyone who replied was using a 32-bit machine. Has anyone yet had success using Dectalk Express with Windows 7 on a 64-bit machine? Thanks.
