Hi Carol I know this is not quite what you are asking, but I thought you might be interested anyway. I use a USB to serial converter to connect my Series 3 Alva Braille Terminal. It is a PL-2303 USB to Serial Converter. It came from a firm I had never heard of before who advertised on Ebay. My colleague at work procured it for me. It came with a disk to install a driver. It has a USB plug at one end and a serial port at the other, so it is necessary to run a cable from the Alva to this port. When I was looking around, I was advised to use the serial, rather than the parallel, port as it was compatible with Windows XP.
