I used one of these speech synthesis cards in the late 80's (around
1989-90). Essentially, the speech software was loaded into the computer's
main memory and executed from there. As I understand it, this was more
than a driver; it also included at least a substantial part of the text to
speech functionality.

I think it would be possible to make it run under other operating systems,
but not without a lot of work. I don't know whether anyone is currently
devoting effort to such a project.
