Hi Folks,
I haven't had much additions since November, but I have added some myself
of items that do or don't work, so below is my list.

Please email me if you know of other products that work with MPower or
classic BrailleNotes and let's compile a long list of items that work and
also let me know which ones don't work too, so all of us don't waste our
hard earned money.

MPower first, then attach usb to parallel converter, then turn on printer
and then MPower they work great too.

Infrared products
IR 100M IrDA Printer Adaptor
The ACT-IR100M gives the user IR wireless printing from mobile computers
and PDAs.
You can also print directly from desktop PC or LAN by connecting the
printer cable
to the ACT-IR 100M.
It is compatible with IrDA-1.0 at communication speeds programmable at
9.6, 19.2,
57.6, 115.2K bps and a distance of 100cm. It is well suited for all IR
wireless printing
applications.
It works well with any parallel printers. You can print wirelessly from
any IrDA-capable
notebook PC, smart cellular phone, PDA, HPC and industrial data terminal,
running
appropriate IrDA application software.
It has built-in printer pass-through connector and very compact IrDA
protocol. Powered
by AC adapter (included).
It automatically switches between IR wireless or cable-based printing.
Indicator
light flashes at IR transmission speed and indicates printing status.
IR head can be easily attached to any convenient desktop location using
Velcro.
IR100M series is compatible with all Centronics-B(36 pins) parallel
printers that
are compatible with DOS. IR100M series is compatible with most
Centronics-B (36 pins)
parallel printers that their Microsoft Windows printer driver use LPT port
with proper
driver. If the printer or multi-function model can not work with Microsoft
Windows
LPT port or DOS, IR100M series will likely not work. However, some
multi-function
printer (MFP) models have been tested to work well with IR100M series.

Hi Kevin:
You will need to purchase a wireless ethernet card that fits into the
compact flash slot on the back of the unit. I know it's a bit more
costly, but I'd recommend purchasing the one Humanware sells so you know
it is compatible. I don't have a wireless card here on my Mpower, but I
was checking in the users guide and manual and cannot find anything on
which cards are compatible.
Hope this helps.
