Sounds quite cheap Christine, however not sure if these "adaptors" will suit my fine motor difficulties. Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,
For my physical disabilities, is there a way for me to use serial
connections without damagin the socket or plug in any way? For example, I
like to use JAWS 8 with my BrailleNote mPower as a Braille display, via
bluetooth. This works, but as with any bluetooth device the connection

needs

to be initiated manually, meaning that I won't be able to have Braille at
startup. This isn't a problem, but it would be cool if I could. By the

way,
I don't have a serial port on my laptop, but I've heard of serial cards. I 
know they fit in a PCMCIA slot, which I believe I have on my laptop (will
have to check that out), but how do they work, and would it benefit

someone

with physical disabilities?
Thanks in advance for sharing.
