Hello again KC,
Yes, you are right! The Edgeport converter is USB, that's true. You can
spend your money as you like but that converter costs around $235 from
Humanware and around $160 from other sources. One could easily buy a good
prinbter for that price. I object to the interface costing as much as a
good printer. This is why I hope to try the Infrared port adapter which is
$72 with shipping from Enabling Technologies. I was hoping to receive it
quickly but haven't seen it here yet.
I did write you a post on how I thought you could emboss from the serial
port of your RB25. I'd be happy to send you that again if you think that
would be helpful.
I too agree I'd rather emboss from a parallel port but the new changes in
the M-power make us have to deal with the USB port somehow so we can again
emboss from the parallel port. For me, this has been
inconvenient. Perhaps I'll need to shell out those bucks but if I can
avoid itk, I will do so. I think $72 is much better than $160 or $235. It
is up to you though!

Jim, and Listers,
If I understand, the Edgeport converters Sarah mentioned were USB, not
Infrared.
However, I would think that, if using the cable to interface the
M-Power and Enabling embosser, it would make sense to buy the cable from
them. the only concern I would have is that my embosser is using parallel
and I'd need something that will still work with that port.
