Hi Isaac, IBraille is the mac OS software that comes bundled with index embossers. I find index software on windows flakey and IBraille hasn't been touched in 3 years or more, so my trust is a bit shaky.
I was hoping some one would jump up and yell, "try enabling! I've had amazing success with this that or the other model." Preferably a model with USB so we don't have to fiddle with serial to USB adapters. The juliet has USB and it's funded here if only it wasn't such a beast.
