Hi Jill,
Yes, I have a Powerbraille 40 and it is on a UUSB port. The other end of
the cable is a serial plug that fits on my Powerbraille. It is noted as USB
to serial bridge. It works fine. I also use Jaws. But not Jaws 11. I do
not know if this would work with Jaws 11.

I am using a Power Braille display; does anyone know if it would work if I
had a computer with only USB ports and no serial or parallel ports. JAWS is
my screen reader.
