Do you use the humanware copying or do you extract yourself?

I did that too but I now use humanware companion which is free and it 
automatically copies after the zip and when you open the site it is there 
ready to download!

No problems

Re: [Blind-Computing] Alva Braille Displays

2011-10-10 Thread Elaine

Hiya

sorry if this has already been replied to, just catching up on backed  up 
emails. lol.


the difference between normal alva to alva satalite is, the satalite are 
able to take batteries so they can be more portable with laptops.


the normal alva displays are mains only making them primary use for desktops 
or machines that aren't meant to be portable.


as to recommendations, it depends if you want one that can be portable, 
usually to work with laptops etc.


I have an older satellite but I use it on my desktop as I don't have a 
laptop.


I've never had any issues with it other than when I used it on a machine 
that had an AMD processor. don't know why but it always had connection 
issues. when I got my new computer I went with a Intel motherboard and its 
ok now. weird. no one has ever confirmed that was the issue though so its a 
personal solution not an official one.  Maybe they have improved things now, 
mine is over 5 years old.


I use the display on both XP and vista and use jaws as a screen reader.

hope this explains things.

hugs

Elaine

I had just decided to choose an Alva Braille display, 80 cell, and 
discovered that there is also a satellite version.

Can anybody explain the difference? or even give a recommendation?
