Hi, I have used a Braille Note PK with Vista and JAWS 10. Since you don't have a serial port, I recommend the Keyspan:USB Serial Adapter for Windows. You may find it at amazon.com. I also installed the drivers to the display by going to the options submenu and selecting Braille display. One thing to remember, before connecting the keyspan adapter, be sure to install the software from the Keyspan CD since you'll have to use the property menu to determine what com port is available. To do this, you would conect the adapter to your PC and the parallel cable that came with the BN to the serial end of the adapter. Then, go to the keyspan assistant (in keyspan submenu) and use the JAWS cursor to tell what com port you are using. Once you know what com port you are using, you can then select this in the braille dialog under options. Once everything is connected, unload JAWS, turn Braille display on, then restart JAWS. To turn on the Braille display in Keysoft, go to the Braille terminal on the main menu. Again, Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. Thanks.

Has anyone had any success using the BN with JAWS 10 and Windows Vista? If so, what type of connection did you establish to do it? One problem I should point out is that my Tablet PC does not have a serial port. Thanks for your suggestions.
