[gnuspeech-contact] Turbo NeXT Station

[David Hill]

For anyone wishing to work on the Gnuspeech port to GNU/Linux and the Macintosh under OS X, you may be interested in a Turbo NeXT Station that has become available, as a give-away, with all the original TextToSpeech Kit software installed.

This provides a canonical form of all the components used in the development of the original TextToSpeech kits -- the only extant complete version.

It can be very helpful, when working on the port, to be able to check the facilities and behaviour of the original.

The unit has 24 MB main memory, 1GB Hard drive (Quantum Fireball 1080S SN A658279) loaded with NeXTSTEP Release 3.3 User and Developer, plus the Y2K patches that were sent out by Apple, plus a Megapixel display (that is not prone to the dreaded dimming problem), plus the CDs for the operating system, patches, and a backup for all the speech goodies

The machine is in Portland, USA, and you will need to pay for shipping.

David Hill,

Gnuspeech
