Hi David
Yes, I've tried the Focus 40 and Pac Mate Braille displays on it, and both work
well because they connect using USB. I haven't tried my own PowerBraille on it
as I would need to fish out the serial to USB adapter, but I don't see why it
shouldn't work.

hi.
Is anyone using a braille display with their netbook? Is it still all
performing marvellously with it?

Hi Saqib
I was told that Vista is so memory hungry that it would be deemed too slow for
something like the current crop of Netbooks. Try by all means though.

Maybe you will be able to use Vista but the guy in Curry's said to me that
Vista would be too slow on the NC10. Maybe he meant with the 1GB RAM.

Subject: [access-uk] Vista on a Netbook
Hi. Is it possible to install Vista on a netbook? I'm thinking of
getting a netbook and want to use Vista on it. I know I'll have to increase the
RAM to 2GB to get a decent performance out of it but I don't know if these
Netbooks are built to have Vista installed on them. I will be browsing for a
netbook and the Samsung NC10 will be amongst my thoughts. I think it will be a
toss up between the NC10 and the Advent 4213 which is a mobile broadband
netbook as it has a simcard slot. Both machines are priced the same at £322.96.
