OK, I could do that, although I do still need the physical USB connection for power if I wish to be mains free and I just thought it may be better to make them use separate resources to reduce the chance of any clash to a minimum.

Would they show another serial port in device manager if they emulated a serial port? I think it probably is an API as to install them with some screen readers you need to copy a particular dll into the screen readers driver directory. How would I go about finding the API for the native driver. Michael Whapples > _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
