Hi Richard, Welcome to the list!
I have used my Apex as a Braille terminal with a Windows PC, and it is very easy to use. I haven't seen any lockups in this mode. To answer your second question about NLS, to the best of my knowledge the Apex is an approved player for BARD books; it's listed on the Bard Web site as one of the approved players. You will need authorization to play the books, which you can apply for on the BARD Web site. Finally, there have been many offers out there recently for gently-used Apexes for sale. In fact, I think I just saw one in the Braille Monitor magazine, and I'll get the information on that and get back to you, if there is in fact such an ad.

What luck have folks had using the unit as a terminal for a windows pc? Can you easily go in and out of terminal mode without any disruption, crashes or lock-ups? Also I have seen some conflicting nls info. Is the apex an approved player? Lastly has anyone seen any of these used but in good condition?
