The Parallel port, if fitted to a PC, is always a 25 pin female
socket, and has 2 rows of pins, one of 12 and one of 13.
This should not be confused with the video port which is a 15 pin
female socket, 3 rows of 5.
A serial port is a male socket with either 9 pins or 25 pins. 9 pin
is a row of 4 and one of 5, while the 25 pin is a row 12 and 13 pins.

Hi
I think it is usually at the back, with 16 or more pins, however, now
days people are more familiar with USB port.

Hi Folks,
Decided to-day to install the new version on my desktop. It
works pretty well on the laptop running Vista so, I didn't think there
would be any problem installing on the desktop running XP.
Imagine my surprise when I was informed that my Power Braille
40 was now only supported through the parallel port. I don't know what
a parallel cable looks like, have no idea where the parallel port is
on my PC and do not know what to look for on the Braille display to
find the relevant socket.
Has anyone dealt with the same problem? Do I need a dedicated
cable? if so, where can I find one? Would it be easy for me to make
the required change without sighted help?
Instead of bragging about the new features in a new version,
wouldn't it be better for SF to first list the features they don't
support anymore? In V.10, they stopped supporting Anytime Organizer, I
use every day and now this...Not a nice Christmas present at all this.
Grateful for any help.
Compliments of the season to all.
Marie
