You can also call APH about this, because they are selling there final
BNS's, but they are still supported, right, Pamela?

Subject: [icon-discuss] Re: Braille 'n Speak transfer
Hello, Ted,
Transferring from the Braille 'n speak to the Braille Plus is at least a
two-step process.
I see no direct way to do this; a computer is essential. The only hardware
output
on the Braille 'n Speak is a serial port. The Braille Plus does not have
one. I have
heard that there is a serial to USB converter. If so, that might allow for a
direct
transfer, assuming that the Braille plus can recognize the BNS as a storage
device.
If you have the Disk Accessory for the BNS, move your data to a floppy and
use that
to transfer your data to a computer, and then use the computer to send the
data back 6 your Braille
Plus.
If your computer does not have an internal hard drive and it is essential to
make the
transfer, then you can buy a USB floppy drive.
If you have a later BNS which uses SAID cards, you can use the card to
transfer data to your
computer and back to the Braille plus. I have not tried this, but perhaps
the card reader would be
recognized by the The BRAILLE Plus.
I hope this will help you or someone on this list. I suggest, however, that
if you need further
help that you write me off list.
