[misc.handicap] Help with GP-Echo synthesizer

I am ttrying to get my GP-Echo synthesizer workin
serially with the Enable-4 (a shareware speech proram).
The GP-Echo synthesizer is not made any more.  I had a
specail serial cable made for it base on the specs in
the manual that came with it.  There is also an addemdum
sheet that came with it showin the eight switch settins.
I want it to run at 9600 baud.  The switches when toward
the front of the unit is then ON.  Switch one is startin
from the left going right.  Switches one, two, and three
are on.  Switch four is off.  Switch five is on.
Switches six and seven are on.  Switch 8 is off which
means serial.

This does not work and I have tried all other
possibilities.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.

 TW> the echo gp and the echo pc are the same unit just with a
 TW> different cable according to a person at street electronics.
 TW> so the echo is still made and in inventory at several vendors.

Tandy,
  I believe Elmer is talking about the original Echo synthesizer.  This
synthesizer could be either parallel or serial.  It also had a few
more dip switches.  I have never worked with this model.  They were before
my time.  I am just a youngster. ha ha.  Anyway, hope everything is working
out for you.
       Doug
