Dear Bulletiner,

	I am looking for information, comments and suggestions regarding
speech I/O on SPARCstation Model 10/51. We are considering the purchase
of these machines for our speech research lab and would like to have
your valuable feedback. Some of our specific queries are :

	1. How many sampling frequencies does the inbuilt I/O support ?
	2. Are standard working software available for sample rate
		conversion to other frequencies ?
	3. Can we connect our own AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER and MICROPHONE
		to the AUI (audio user interface) provided on SPARC10 ?
	4. Are HighLevel callable libraries available for record and
		playback, from C and Fortran programs ?
	5. We understand that ARIEL offers products for speech I/O and DSP
		on S-bus (e.g., S-56 and S-56X DSP boards, and Proport
		digial audio interface). Would you recommend this option 
		over and above the inbuilt I/O facilities provided
		on SPARC10 ?
	6. Are there other OEM's offering a comparable product range
 		for speech I/O and DSP for SPARC10 ?

I would be very grateful if you can throw light on these questions, and
offer valuable suggestions drawing upon your experience with SPARC10
speech I/O. 

Could you please send your comments to one of the following email 
addresses ?

Thank you very much in advance,
