Re: [JAWS-Users] embosser
Hi Bill, I am late on this thread because my XP burned up on May 11. I now have an XP pro, Open Book 8, an USB to parrallel connector and Braille Blazie. Would you give me some direction as to how these can interact to produce braille. I had used my Blazie with a 486 machine which demised and had a poor application called Hot Dots. When I ask for some direction, at 81 years, I guess I mean as much detail as you will supply.. Thanks for any assistance.

George, in addition to this, if you have Openbook on your laptop, you can very easily use your Blazer, I do it all the time.
