Like I said recently this thread is stretching the guidelines just a bit. It is time to move on since this is not a hardware page at heart.

(The flat piece in the USB port is or may be a bit higher up.) I'm looking at my Toshiba laptop and in the port with the flat piece towards the bottom, a USB plug won't fit. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carlson Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 11:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] usb 3.0 port Yes, absolutely. I cannot tell the difference between an HDMI port and a USB 2.0 port, but I am digitally-proficient enough to easily tell the difference between a USB 2.0 port and a USB 3.0 port. Start using your finger on all those ports and get back to us.

I thought I had understood someone to post that they can tell the difference between a USB 2 and a USB 3 connector by touching it.

Without looking I could not say with 100% certainty, however, I have been around quite a few computers with multiple USB ports and if there is a port that looks a lot like a USB port it is usually an HDMI port. For example, this machine I am typing on has two USB ports and an HDMI on the left moving from front to back. And on the right is a single USB port. I would need to ask someone sighted which one is blue.
