Hi Derek
Ah, the lovely Matt! (big smile).
I don't know what make my USB to serial adapter is, but it does work on
Vista, apart from a shutting down problem. What happens is that the
computer shuts down, but not properly. It seems to go into a restart,
then Windows doesn't behave correctly when it loads up. I can't really
fathom out what goes on, except that if I unload JAWS before shutting it
down when the USB to serial adapter is attached, it closes everything
down perfectly and as it should. Since I don't really use it on my
laptop though, I don't worry about it. And if I need to in the future,
I'll just unload JAWS before I close it down.
Other than that Derek, it works ok for me mate.

Hi Jackie
Your colleague Matthew Pateman, had problems setting up my PowerBraille
80 with a USB to serial adapter. He did manage it after many phone
calls, and having to change the cable for a different make.
So although I agree it does work, it's not as straightforward as it
should be.
Regards, Derek
