Dear KC, I want to use my embosser with my Mpower. It only has a parallel and serial port. The serial port won't work because the cable that goes with the MP is a null modem cable and the embosser requires a rs232 cable. The embosser also has a female plug.
That's why I must use the parallel port. The parallel port is the best to use anyway. I don't want to pay--no, I WON'T pay $235.00 for the HumanWare USB to parallel converter. When I learned Enabling Technologies has an Infrared to Parallel converter for $62.00 plus $10.00 shipping, I ordered one. I HOPE it will work with my embosser. The "garden variety" USB to parallel converters in the regular stores won't work with the BN. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.

I'm just curous as to what use a new M-Power user would make ofthe USB or Infrared cable? I understand one can be used with a cellphone. From information gleaned from this List, Iu nderstand, if you want to hook an emboseser to your BN, you might need a USB/paralel connection. : KC : : ___ : To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit : http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote : : : __________ NOD32 1.1325 (20051215) Information __________ : : This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. : http://www.eset.com : :
