 * dtlk.c - DoubleTalk PC driver for Linux kernel 2.0.29

 */

/* This driver is for the DoubleTalk PC, a speech synthesizer
   manufactured by RC Systems (http://www.rcsys.com/).  It was written
   based on documentation in their User's Manual file and Developer's
   Tools disk.

   The DoubleTalk PC contains four voice synthesizers: text-to-speech
   (TTS), linear predictive coding (LPC), PCM/ADPCM, and CVSD.  It
   also has a tone generator.  Output data for LPC are written to the
   LPC port, and output data for the other modes are written to the
   TTS port.

   Two kinds of data can be read from the DoubleTalk: status
   information (in response to the "\001?" interrogation command) is
   read from the TTS port, and index markers (which mark the progress
   of the speech) are read from the LPC port.  Not all models of the
   DoubleTalk PC implement index markers.  Both the TTS and LPC ports
   can also display status flags.

   The DoubleTalk PC generates no interrupts.

   These characteristics are mapped into the Unix stream I/O model as
   follows:

   "write" sends bytes to the TTS port.  This driver is intended for
   use with the text-to-speech synthesizer.  If LPC output is needed
   some day, other minor device numbers can be used to select among
   output modes.

   "read" gets index markers from the LPC port.  If the device does
   not implement index markers, the read will fail with error EINVAL.

   Status information is available using the DTLK_INTERROGATE ioctl.
