Ever since I got a computer with no serial ports I have not tried to hook up the Braille note as a display. I do have the serial cable and had a USB to serial adapter on it to do active since before the mPower upgrade but at the moment I don't know where it is and have not figured out what serial port it would be on if I found it to set this up.
May have to look into it since I have had absolutely no success connecting anything with bluetooth. It may be great but my husband and I have had no success with it.

Maybe we can use this in my suggested tutorial "knowledge-base." I've learned so many things while going through this. One being that if you can't find your cable that was sent by Humanware, you can't just go out and buy anything. You must have a null-modem 9-pin femaile cable on both sides. One day, I want to find out the right converter to purchase that will allow my BN to work with my laptop. Once again, thanks to you and all!!
