Hi Erik, One strange thingm, when i try to put through the braillant to windows, i often accidentally suspend the machine while i am quite sure i only het vo space on the relevant device in the usb menu and not again when i got back in the window. I am quite sure that the display is connected to windows (because it says disconnect braillant in the usb menu, i dont know how to get to device manager yet). I have the second generation braillant (june 2012) the one made by humanware not baum. Interesting that serial to usb convertor, not sure if this is in my unit as well. I know it has bluetooth and use it quite often (so quite a modern connection standard). I have asked on another list to se eif anyone has tried the braillant on normal win 8 (so not within vmware) but at this moment i am stumped.
Thanks for the vmware5 focus command defenitely will try it.
Greetings, Anouk,

Hi anouk,

Only one environment can have access to the display at a time. So, check to make sure that the brailliant is connected to windows. You can do that in the USB menu under virtual machine.

Then don't forget that the classic brailliant is a serial device. There's a usb to serial adapter built into that unit so it doesn't work like a normal USB device.

I haven't tried windows 8 yet, but it may very well have something against serial ports since they're 30 or so technology years old.

Best,

Hi everyone,
I get my braillant working with os x and ios and pc (bt only with ios and os x, i dont use bt on pc). Now I wanted to get braille with my newly installed win8 64 pro vm using usb. Before I only used windows 7. I wanted to try it with nvda so assumed this would need the usb driver. I have set uac notification slider to 0 percent but still the driver wont install. I wonder if anyone else has experience with trying to connect the braillant displays to win8 (either with vmware or not)?
Thanks in advance for any informatio,
Greetings, Anouk,
