Hi, what are you using as an embosser? Answering this question
may help people answer if you can use it with the MPower, they
might be using it themselves and be able to help more knowing
what you want to use.
I can't help you answer any of your questions because I have only
had my Transplant for just under a week but like you it is my
backup machine. I have a PK which i use most of the time but at
the moment it is in getting fixed again.

Subject: [Braillenote] mPower reliability and parallel port
Hi everyone
I am considering a transplant to the mPower but have a few
questions.
I do not need convincing of the superior functions of the mPower
over the
Classic, but I wondered whether the mPower is as reliable. My
classic is
running 4.1 and I have not had any trouble with it whatsoever
over the last
five years. I still even have the original battery and it
outlasts that of
my PK.
How have people generally found the mPower? Is it more likely to
need
servicing/repairs? My classic is purely a standby machine if my
PK breaks
down, but I am beginning to think that its software should be a
little more
up to date.
The other major function of my Classic is to emboss. My embosser
uses a
parallel port. Is it still possible to do this with an adapter
from one of
the ports on the mPower?
As I said, my Classic is simply a backup and I have absolutely no
problem
with it as a machine. I know the mPower is much more advanced,
especially
when running 7.5. But I don't want to trade in my most reliable
piece of
equipment for something that is likely to need constant
servicing, or cannot
emboss to my machine.
Thanks for your help
Kylie
