Hi Keith,
I have a PowerBraille40 & can instruct you on this.
You need no extra drivers, merely telling Dr. Jaws to include PowerBraille40 is
sufficient.
You can run JFW with the PowerBraille40 shut off.
You will get an error message advising of this, but hitting Enter or Escape will
bypass.
I f you don't want the error message to occur, use Configuration Manager to
Uncheck the error message in the Braille application portion.
If you need help with this, let me know & I will give detailed instructions.
Contact me privately for this.
My email address is:

Sorry, I cannot help with Dragon stuff.
Wishing you well,
With warmest, Christian regards,
Harry Bassler

Subject: JFW & settings, Power Brl, and Dragon
>{ HYPERLINK mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] }Hello Digesters,
>
>It has been a while since I have been lurking� Always learning something from
you all. Now I am turning to you for some help. I have been fortunate in
receiving many cool adaptive software and hardware from my school district. I am
learning and sharing with other teachers of the visually impaired what I am
learning... We are all using JFW 3.2 on Win 95 systems.
>
>
>Here are my questions:
>Can students have customized settings files for JFW which can be loaded with a
hot key? Some students need to hear each key stroke, while others need only to
hear menu options. This is a simplified version of why I want to do this but you
get the idea.
>
>
>I received an old refurbished Power Braille 40. I have no software drivers for
it. I remember when installing JFW, it asked if I was using a braille display.
Is this all I need to get it up and running? Or do I need other drivers to be
installed first?
>
>Is there any problem if I have the Power Brl not connected or just turned off
while using the system with JFW? Most of my students use just the speech and not
the braille display. So I see the Power Braille being left off most of the time,
but it would be extremely helpful when it is needed�
>
>
>we have installed Duxbury Braille Translation, Braille Talk(Math Module) and
Dragon Dictate. I am concerned that JFW will not work at the same time as
Dragon. Is anyone on the list using this setup? Perhaps we could talk via
private email�
>
>Some of the problems I am having is that The microphone is not recognized. I
looked all over for a place to turn or off the mic. Browsed through the control
panel under media manager, multimedia, and sounds. I have tried unloading JFW as
well but not sure what else to try.
