once again, i b m has maid certain modifications that prevent speech, at least
according to the article in bit streem.
these changes are specific to the i b m activa and are complicated.
you can obtain the article or you can contact i b m, if you contact i b m it
may take awhile for them to relearn how to fix it.
it all has to do with i b m adding special stuff to their p c.
or at least it work when the guy in the article did it.
you can at least find out the author of the articles name,
and contact him.
he is a regular hardware tester for bit streem.
their was an article on the i b m activa in bit streem magazine,
where the user had to make several modifications to make it work right.
that mag is done by peter
well so much for my spelling here is his e mail address, i think you can get
back issues.
