Hi all, just a few warnings about the A2 emulator and talking 
software.  You can actually print, so Jayson saying you can't is 
incorrect.  It makes a file called a2.printlog in the current 
directory under DOS or Linux.  It dumps anything sent to slot 1 to 
that file.  I briefly experimented with pretending an Echo is in slot 
1 since it prints to a file.  It kind of worked but not 
exactly.  Second, you can't use anything that requires an Echo or it 
locks up.  You can use Bex but make sure to use a configuration 
without speech.  Later Textalker versions are better about 
this.  Finally, don't use any 80 column software or anything that 
expects cards in the slots other than 1 or 6.  Specifically slot 3 
locks up if accessed.  If you can delete the pr#3 statements, that 
helps but you can only do that for Applesoft programs.
