Hi Terri and list,
I put it on plastic so it should have been here by now. I'll check into it
Monday or Tuesday. I'm not concerned whether it arrives by Christmas or
not. I agree! New Year's presents are just fine too. I hope it works on
your Embosser as well. That would be wonderful!

Dear Jim,
I'm sure the converter will work with embossers sold by Enabling
Technologies. A man on another list I belong to said the infrared to
parallel converter was a "slick" device and he liked it and I believe he
said he used it with a BrailleNote.
Now, whether it will work with MY embosser is another matter.
My order got held up because I had to sign a letter confirming the order.
Perhaps you should call Enabling Technologies and find out what happened to
your order. You ordered yours earlier than I did.
I'm looking forward to receiving my New Year's present and if this device
works, I will be in seventh heaven!
