I've actually got the machine that it was (previously) used with, as well as the software to work it. I think the hardest part would be to figure out what settings had to be entered on the embosser itself (its got a number pad and you've got to give it codes to explain what you want it to do), but google should help there, if it doesn't work as soon as I plug it in.

If we were to decide to go forward with this that old embosser and your stock of paper could prove useful. That is considering we can get that old thing going. That could be somewhat problematic these days. I happen to have an old embosser as well, a Braille Blazer circa 1992 or so, but have not been able to use it for several years because I don't have any computers I can hook it up to. Both serial ports and parallel ports are a thing of the past, and while I might be able to use a serial to USB adapter or something I really had no use for the thing until now. I should drag the thing out of storage and see if I can get it working. In any case there is probably a way to rig one of those old embossers to do the job if we had to. So that's at least a start in the right direction. Cheers!
