Another reason for HW to go with this idea is that some computers, such as
the Tablet PC I use for work, do not even have a serial port anymore. I
have heard that I cann connect via Bluetooth and plan to try it this week.

JD, I totally agree. I'm surprised that this has not yet been done.
While moving, the serial cable was lost. I had to go and buy one. It's
not just any serial cable that is needed, it's one that is very very
hard to find. I hope that HW will consider USB connection for the
braille display in the future.

Hello:
It would be wonderful if the BN could connect via USB for use as
a braille display. You must use the serial cable that came with
your unit.
HW would be doing us all a favor if this were an option through
the USB port.
And, you only need to set 2 options in Window-Eyes:
1 choose the BN as your display under the file menu
2 set braille to on under the braille menu
For me it works very micely.
