Hi Jane I have tried several the latest one I down loaded from humanware. The jawsKeynote 1092. I tried the powerbraille driver because apparently some people have had some luck with that driver. cheers Val ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Jordan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2005 11:03 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] braille terminal
I didn't know about trying a different driver. I haven't used my BN as a display for my computer in so long because my computer just gets more and more sluggish. Which drivers did you try, and which ones worked best?
