I just completed configuring a Toshiba 2545 CTS a couple of hours ago with JFW
3.3 build 26, and I have to say I was very impressed with how welll it works.
The sound of the speakers is very nice and Eloquence, Dec Access32 and
MicroSoft Speech all are working very nicely, although MicroSoft Speech could
be a bit more responsive.
The Toshiba 2545 is a 333 mhz machine with AMD K6/2 processor and has a
S3 Virg video which seems to be working absolutely flawlessly. This one looks
like it might be one of the best for speech that Toshiba has come up with for
quite a while now.
