I use a Papenmeier Braillex EL 80s display connected via USB.
I have the Papenmeier drivers installed and currently use it with JFW on
Windows 7 64-bit.
Will I be able to use BRLTTY 4.2.3 on Windows 7 64-bit?
Brltty should work fine, yes. Please report any issue with it.
Can I have both BRLTTY and the Papenmeier driver installed at the same time?
It depends on how the Papenmeir driver works. Since it's proprietary we
can't say anything but what users report, so please try and tell us.
I installed brltty 4.2.3 and selected PM for Papenmeier.
In the port list I can choose between USB and Com 1 through Com 16.
I assume this means that the Papenmeier driver don't provide any virtual
ports?
If the driver provides a virtual COM port that BRLTTY could use, then
it should be just fine, don't tell BRLTTY to install any USB driver or
filter and just use the COM port.
If it doesn't, then you may try to install the libusb-win32 filter
and see whether stopping JFW before starting BRLTTY works. I has been
reported that previous versions of the libusb-win32 filter makes windows
7 64bit hang, but recent versions should fix this. Again, please try and
report: as none of us has windows7, we can't test ourselves.
I selected USB from the port list and installed libusb-filter.
Disaster!
The libusb-filter completely broke usb on my Windows 7 machine.
No keyboard, no mouse, no Braille display, no scanner etc...
I'm now up and running again after instructing a sighted person to boot
into "The last known good configuration" on the advanced boot options menu.
Removed the libusb-filter and rebooted.
All ok.
I am not going to try the filter again :)
