Hi Your understanding is correct. Any 16 bit program will not run on a 64 bit Windows system.

Hi, I understand (having asked someone who's technically fairly knowledgeable, a similar question) that it's very iffy. It might, or might not, work in the case of older braille displays. Another thing is that, they were at most 16-bit, which would work on 32-bit OS's but certainly not on 64-bit (according to my understanding). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike O'Brien" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2014 6:36 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Where does Jaws store its braille display drivers? > Hi > > I don't know if this would work for Braille displays.
