Hi Folks,

A while ago I purchased a second hand Powerbraille 40 which, although it is
far from new, has been working well.  I connected it to a USB port on my pc
but, since upgrading to Jaws 11 the powerbraille is not working.  I get a
message telling me it will now only work with a parallel port.  Does anyone
know why this has been changed?  I do not know whether or not I have
parallel ports on my pc, nor how to find them if I do.  I certainly do not
have the correct cable.

Could someone please give me advice on where to go for the cable should I
need one, or, preferably, if there is a way around so that I can continue to
use the PB40 as currently connected.

I know I am not the only person with this problem, so any advice would be
appreciated.


David
