Hello Lynne, I'm trying to cast my mind back to a point where I had a conversation with someone about how to get a parallel device to work with a USB cable.
Is your computer picking up other items if you plug them in in a similar way? I ask only that I had an issue a few months ago where my PC wasn't responding to devices being plugged in and a change had to be made somewhere in the operating system to ensure this happened again. The other point I was wondering about is, and I am assuming you have been, that the conversion is from parallel to USB rather than a cable which converts the other way; just a thought only. Is your cable going direct from the braille embosser to the USB port i.e. one end plugging into the embosser, the other to the relevant USB port, rather than there being an extension, as it were to an already-existing cable?
