Hello Kelley and  all,

I was thinking of your idea of building a separate computer as a reading
machine.  I have Kurtzweil 1000 Version 5.02 release date July 2000.  I have
never put it in my Windows XP computer because I didn't think it would work
and the last time I put Kurtzweil into a machine that already had JAWS
installed, it messed it up a lot.  This version of Kurtzweil says Dectalk
version.  I also happen to have a Dectalk in storage.

If I were to build a computer for this version of Kurtzweil would I have to
use the DecTalk or could I use a built in sound card?  Also what version of
Windows will this version of Kurtzweil work with?  I figure I can find an
old Windows 98 machine for next to nothing.  I think I have an old scanner
that will work with it too.

What do you all think?
