Hi I don't know if this would work for Braille displays. But on my Windows 7 machine now running JAWS 15, with no serial ports, I am using a Dectalk Express sybthesizer which plugs into a serial port. I bought a serial to USB converter and plugged the serial adaptor of the synthesizer into one end and the other end into a USB port on the machine. I bought the adaptor on Amazon. The one I got is made by TrendNet. But if JAWS has actually blocked serial Braille displays, the block would most likely be somewhere outside of the driver itself. You could ask FS if what you want to do is possible and why they blocked them after JAWS 11.

Hey folks, I'm looking into grabbing an old TSI navigator because its the cheapest way for me to get my hands on an 80 character braille display. I've been doing some research and discovered that the navigator uses the Power Braille communications protocol and should, therefore work with jaws's powerbraille driver. I then discovered that FS has disabled use of the powerbraille displays through a serial port as of jaws version 11. The navigator doesn't have a parallel port and neither do any of my computers. Anyone know if its possible to hack out the PB driver from jaws 11 and put it to work with jaws 14?
