- I just upgraded my system to OS 2.1 and I'm pretty happy with it except
- for two things:
-
- First, the apparent lack of speech synthesis support. I thought that this
- had been improved in release 2, but the docs don't mention it at all. My
- old 1.3 SAY program still works, but, of course it still sounds the same.
- I tried Speechtoy2, but it doesn't run at all. No errors, just no program.
- Workbench tries to load the program, but returns right away; same with
- calling it from the CLI. Anybody help me with this?
-
- More importantly, I seems to have taken a major speed hit in writing to
- the screen when I upgraded. Under 1.3 my A530-equipped 500 performed about
- 4.09 times as fast as a stock 500 under AIBB 5.0's WRITEPIXEL test. Under
- 2.1, however, the rating is only 2.5! What happened? Did I really lose that
- much performance? And is there anything I can do to get it back?
-
- Thanks for any help you can give me.
