Hi. My understanding is that all you need is a null cable. I also assume
you went to utilities and then tried to connect?

Hello List,
I was wondering if it is necessary to have the cable that comes with
the Braille Note to use Microsoft Active Sync. I no longer have this
cable, so bought a null modem cable. Both ends are female, and have 9
pins each. They fit fine into the correct ports on the PC and the Braille
Note, but I can't get the two devices connected to each other.
I'm not sure if the problem is the cable, or if it's something else,
since I haven't used Active Sync in about six months. I'm still running
Keysoft 3.6, which I realize is an older version, but it worked fine
before. In any case, I can't update until I get Active Sync to work since
I initially purchased the Braille Note, the power chord didn't come with
the super disk drive, so I can't use that. I have tried using Active Sync
3.7 instead of version 3.1, but that didn't help. When I try to connect,
the PC shows that it is checking Com1 and USB, but it can't find the
Braille Note's connection.
If anyone has any ideas about what the problem might be, I'd
appreciate your help. Also, if I do need a new cable from Pulsedata, how
long does it generally take to be delivered? I need it fairly urgently
since I have to read the books I have scanned for college, and can't use
the DiskDrive.
Thanks in advance for any input,
Therese McCabe
P.S. Is it possible to connect the Braille Note to Active Sync using an
infrared port?
