Hello Everyone.
I have in my possession a powerbraille braille display. I have no ideas
if this will work with the latest jaws or NVDA, but the other problem I
have is that this display has a serial port for connection. Most modern
PC's don't have a serial port, so I went on the hunt for a serial to USB
cable. I managed to find one on amazon, but one of the reviews says the
following.
This is a high quality and well functioning USB to RS232 adapter, make
no mistake. It's highly rated reviews attest to this. However its
Prolific chip set is not compatible with some hardware especially it
seems devices that require the exchange of 'nul' i.e. ASCII code 00
characters. It is not compatible with HyTek's Meet Manager and
Daktronics race timing hardware and will cause Run-time error 8020.
Choose a FTDI or Moxa adapter for this equipment or if you know you'll
be communicating with nul characters.
will this cable work with my display based on the above comments? also,
does anyone know if it'll work with jaws or NVDA?
many thanks in advance,
Mo.
