What do you call those cards that allow you install extra (or re-allocate existing) com ports, expansion slots - serial or other. (An ISA slot?) I'm not sure of the name.) Maybe you could add one in the back of the computer, (or get someone to do it, etc.) There would be a CD with the software, and then one physically would add in the serial port and whatever. Another thought, probably better: You could try an USB-to-serial converter. This appears to be a simpler solution, and it could work.

It might be easier going that way - into, say, one of the ordinary com ports.

I have a Power Braille 80 and I want to get it working with Jaws. I am using Windows Vista Home Edition Premium. Here are the steps I have followed: 1. I connected the PB 80 to the power supply and charged the battery. 2. I have a parallel cable going in to the only parallel port I have which is a printer port and it is considered lpt1. 3. I then go to the Synth and Braille Manager and tell it I want to use the PB 80 on LPT1 And check the Pb80 display check box with in the Synth and Braille Manager. 4. I then say finish to the Synth and Braille Manager and start Jaws as asked by Jaw's executable. 5. I restart Jaws and then Jaws is complicated by a Windows error which says that the application meaning Jaws will not run. I have two questions here. Does the Pb 80 need bidirectional support? I am assuming yes since it needs to talk both ways? Secondly, are there any other settings that any one can suggest? Have a wonderful day.
