Hi, I can tell you that you can't use it as a Braille display directly via USB, however I've heard of people successfully using usb to serial adaptors, which creates a virtual serial port, which can be accessed by your prefered screen reader.

Prior to posting a message to this list, I had already gone through many attempts to resolve the issue with a Humanware technical support specialist on the phone . At no time during that conversation did they indicate a possibility of this combination of MPower and Vista not working. The tech support agent chalked our failures up to a problem with the bluetooth software on the laptop in question. So, I direct my question now to Humanware, and would expect a candid response. Does the Braillenote MPower, running Keysoft 7.5.29 work as a bluetooth display in Windows Vista? Can the MPower work as a display via USB? I hadn't even attempted that option, since my client would far prefer the wireless benefit of bluetooth. So, if the MPower is not in fact compatible with Vista, how come the Humanware team hasn't addressed this issue, and why are the support personnel who are being paid to disseminate the information not aware of the situation? I'd love to stumble upon the definitive answer here. Scott ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
