David,
    You're kidding?  You actually need the ram card to get speech out of
this item that is starting to look like vapor hardware?

     I havn't often jumped on the anti-TSI bandwagon, but this one has
me wanting to take the reins!  In the interviews I've heard where the
BrailleMate was being announced, and when I called TSI and tried to
twist information out of a representative about this, never was it
mentioned that the ram card was necessary to get speech.
    It ain't often I feel pity, but indeed, I feel just that for anyone
who put bucks down on one of these suckers!

Sort of makes that little Braille 'n Speak I have sitting here seem all
the more valuable!
                                                        Willie

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
