Michel and all,
You are right and I can add more here.
FS decided not to support some other Braille displays. I'm using Baum
SuperVario40 and in Jaws11 Beta, I can not use its special driver as I used
with Jaws 10, 9 Etc.
I wrote to Freedomscientific support team and to Eric Damery but I didn't
get any respond or suggestion to solution yet.
Hope FS will do it soon.
It's really a big problem and I don't think that FS is going to do things
that may prevent blind PC users to use their other Braille displays.
Any output here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, all,
Just so you know: This morning, while I was installing JAWS 11 Beta at
the office, I got a very bad surprise: The PowerBraille 80 is no longer
supported through the serial port, but through the parallel port only. I'm
already using a Braille printer through my unique parallel port. I wouldn't
be surprised this would be the same for the PowerBraille 40. The next
computer generation will not have anymore parallel port. I'm very upset at
that Freedom Scientific decision.
Michel
