Now to me, that seems a bit silly, especially as I can use my PK in conjunction with my PC through USB, I wouldn't have thought using it as a Braille Display would have been that much different than using it with Activesync. And, more often than not, the serial ports are difficult to access whereas more and more now the USB ports are located on the front of a PC. I wonder if there are any plans in place to accommodate USB connectivity so that the BNs can be used as a Braille display?

Ray and all, you cannot yet use USB as a Braille display method; only serial and bluetooth are supported.

When connected to Com1 I was able to get JAWS to recognize the Braillenote as a Braille Display. However, I wasn't able to get it to work using a USB cable, so I'm not sure you can set the BN up as a Braille Display running on a USB connection. I checked the BN User's Guide and it states that you need to use the serial port for Braille Display setup. Thanks, hope that helps.
