Dear Jim, I'm sure the converter will work with embossers sold by Enabling Technologies. A man on another list I belong to said the infrared to parallel converter was a "slick" device and he liked it and I believe he said he used it with a BrailleNote.
Now, whether it will work with MY embosser is another matter. My order got held up because I had to sign a letter confirming the order. Perhaps you should call Enabling Technologies and find out what happened to your order. You ordered yours earlier than I did. I'm looking forward to receiving my New Year's present and if this device works, I will be in seventh heaven! Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
