yes before you run vmware player pyserial and python 2.6 and com0com
must be installed and configurd correctly and you must have the
virtual bns server running and keep that command window open while
the vm runs.

Ok, but, do you need the virtual com part to run first before
launching VMWare player, etc.?

window-eyes launches automatically and it uses the virtual braille
n speak automatically. you just type win and hit enter and
windows3.1 comes up talking.

Ok, then another question - does window eyes launch automatically
if you then launch windows, or does it also need the sort of
virtual com port?
Ask since that vmWare image has pretty much the same name as the
one have here already, where window eyes doesn't seem to be
launching, since although, do hear windows startup sound if type
in win in dos bootup, and hit enter, but not much else happens?
Will download it, and try it out as well, but let's see.

Josh, where do you get that vmWare image/instance?
I want to try this out using python 2.7, since that's my
standard version here, and got hold of pyserial 2.7 version, so
let's see...?

hey i found it. I found it I found it! the ultimate ms-dos
solution! download and install the following google them... you
have to google search the following!
python 2.6 found at ftp.compuconference.com
pyserial
com0com
install them! oh and you'll also need an old copy of vmware
player 4.0 get it from filehippo or from the old vinux virtual
edition. now follow these directions pasted below. run the
virtual bns server and let the command prompt window open at
all times when running the virtual machine! if you do it right,
you will hav windows3.1 and dos with window-eyes with
windows3.1 and you will also have a a registered ASAP screen
reader and it is very very responsive! asap and window-eyes for
windows3.1 will talk using espeak! and you will also get pc
speaker beeps and boop sounds through your laptop or desktop
speakers or sound card. so go have fun and use a real live
ms-dos and windows 3.1 again! have fun!
What you'll need
*python 2.6
*com0com
*pyserial
*vmware player or workstation
How to set this up
1. install python 2.6, then pyserial and finally com0com
2. When you've installed com0com, go to its start menu group,
and pick setup.
3. the tree view should be set for virtual pare 0.
4. Enter COM8 in the first field, and COM9 in the second field,
then press space/enter on the apply button.
5. close the setup utility
Ok, the serial ports are now ready. Here is how you run the
actual synth.
Go into a command prompt, then navigate where you've stored
your "virtual bns" folder. IE
cd C:\bns
If you get a prompt such as
C:\bns>
Then you're fine to actually launch the virtual braille n'
speak. to do that, assuming you've installed python in the
default location, you enter C:\python26\python emu.py com9
After a few seconds, you should hear eSpeak say "ready". just
leave the window open
Now, you can boot the virtual machine. It has a copy of ASAP
for dos access. (to run that, type C: to make sure you're on
the c drive, then enter s.bat.)
It also has a copy of windows 3.1 with window-eyes 1.1. to run
that, first make sure that you don't have ASAP running, then
just type in win. you should hear a chime and speech should
come on.
