You can use your BN as a Braille Display with both JAWS and Window-Eyes, laptop or desktop. I just hooked up my BN to a laptop last week and it worked like a charm. What you cannot do is use Braille input from your BN keyboard to create a file on the laptop. Is this clearer?

I have heard that a BN will not work with Jaws. Please explain what they ment by such a statement. I thought I could not use Jaws with the BN. If this is true, it will open up a door for my future. Thanks.

The way I do this is to get the BrailleNote going first, then boot up the computer; that way when JAWS comes up you should have Braille. Did you tell JAWS you are using a BrailleNote as a display, and did you choose it as the default display? If the answers are yes, then you should have Braille. Good luck.

I connected the BN with the serial cable; went into Jaws' braille mode, but I know there is something I need to do to make the BN act as a display? I have looked in the manual but there is obviously something I am missing. Thanks. Ben Blagg WyCoKCK Out of sight/Not out of mind -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
