JD, I totally agree. I'm surprised that this has not yet been done. While moving, the serial cable was lost. I had to go and buy one. It's not just any serial cable that is needed, it's one that is very very hard to find. I hope that HW will consider USB connection for the braille display in the future.

Hello: It would be wonderful if the BN could connect via USB for use as a braille display. You must use the serial cable that came with your unit. HW would be doing us all a favor if this were an option through the USB port. And, you only need to set 2 options in Window-Eyes: 1 choose the BN as your display under the file menu 2 set braille to on under the braille menu For me it works very micely.
