Re: Grade 2 Braille Translation software for the Mac?

2018-11-17 Thread Michael Busboom 
Hello everyone,

Thanks for responding to my initial query about Braile translation software.  
Since my friend will probably only want to occasionally use the program, and 
since he isn’t needing to produce professional-looking Braille,, I will have 
him look at the BrailleBlaster software first.

Since my friend is considering purchasing a used Romeo printer, I am assuming 
that he will need to purchase special cables that connect between USB and 9-pin 
devices, or something along those lines.  Does anyone sell such cables?

Thanks for all of your feedback and have a great weekend,

Mike
