Hi Bill,
I am late on this thread because my XP burned up on May 11. I now have an XP
pro, Open Book 8, an USB to parrallel connector and Braille Blazie. Would
you give me some direction as to how these can interact to produce braille.
I had used my Blazie with a 486 machine which demised and had a poor
application called Hot Dots.
When I ask for some direction, at 81 years, I guess I mean as much detail as
you will supply..
Thanks for any assistance.
Lloyd

I'm pretty sure mine runs off the parallel port, but maybe somebody
smarter
than I am can confirm that you can do this.

OK.
Thanks.
I'd need to get openbook first though.
And quick question:
my laptop doesn't have serial.
DO I require a serial/paralel to USB converter?
If so, how much is that cable usually?
Thanks,
Jorge

George, in addition to this, if you have Openbook on your laptop, you
can very easily use your Blazer, I do it all the time.
I don't believe you can do some of the fancy stuff that programs like
Duxburry let you do, but you can certainly create a good quality,
Grade II Braille document with OPenbook and a Blazer.
If you decide to take a shot at this let me know and I'll splain it
better.

Jorge,
The first part, I don't know. Unless others have used the Blaver with
Win 7, I don't know if your driver would work. I think Freedom
Scientific took over the Blazer printer as part of the Blazie Engineering
demise.
There are some free Braille translation programs out there. WinTrans
comes to mind. I don't have the website for it, but you should be
able to Google it.

Hi all:
Two quick questions.
First, I have a small Blazy emboser that I used to use with my
Braillelite that I no longer use.
My question is can I use it with my new laptop?
If so, what app do I need?
I don't have Duxberry or any of that.
Any free ones?
Also, when using Sonar, can I emboss using that embosser?
Thanks,
Jorge
