Naw, it's not going to work. Satellite is just too old at this point. It took them years to get the support for bc640. There's just no hope for the Satellite.
It should work on your mac but that's about it. Even if window-eyes supported Braille TY for windows you would still need that USB driver which is just not happening. If I remember right the 3.0 driver package was from either 2004 or 2005. 6 or 7 years is forever int computer years. Best, Erik Burggraaf This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.
