I used one in my earliest days here at Medicaid. In fact, it's still in
my desk drawer in working condition, although the little square button
long since popped off the on switch. We had an old phone system with
six incoming lines. The indicators ran across the top rear, and you had
to know which one to pick up.
Talk the
tech services folks at the department for the blind in your state (or
whatever it may be called there. Somebody over there will be able to
help.

Subject: Xilinx compatebility with Jaws
Hello Group:
I apologize, this may seem a bit beyond the scope of this list, however
you'll
see where I'm going with this.
I am almost finished my minor in computing science, and the last
course I
have to do starting January is a course on Computer Organization and
Architecture, where we will be learning about things like Digital
circuits,
combinational systems, memory, register transfer, control logic design,
CPU
design, and advanced topics on micro-architectures.
The text we will be referring to during the course is: Contemporary
Logic
Design, by Randy Katz & Gaetano Borriello.
there is also a lab component where we will be using Field-programmable
gate
arrays (FPGA's) and the ISE software by Xilinx to program them, in the
VHDL
language.
We will also be using a software tool called Sonata to test our code
before
sending them to the FPGA's.
I was wondering if any of you have ever had any experience with the ISE
software
or Sonata, and have any advice as how to best adapt them to working with
Jaws,
if possible.
also, while the FPGA's have a couple L E D indicators on them (like the
calculator displays) and thus are not accessible, I was thinking of
ordering a
light probe to give me a bit more independence with them.
Have any of you ever used a light probe, and can you give me some advice
as to
the brand that might best serve my needs?
finally, if any of you have ever studied any of the above subjects, do
you have
any advice or tips as to good resources for learning about this
material?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Lorne
