Hi Jackie,

I am pleased to say it works on the Esys, but there is no documentation as
yet.  Those Braille displays are just darned beautiful.

All the best

Steve

Hi John

Dead interesting about Braille connectivity to your devices.  I think the
BrailleSense is a cracking machine, and I think it will be even better when
the new update is released.  I would be interested to know if you get it
talking to your Iphone in the future?

hi sorry to reply this way but using the braille sense plus. i am so pleased
to say i can connect my apex to the iphone as a braille display. did not
think this would work but it does. i cannot seem to do it with the  sense
though. now to my other difficulty. i have a new 64 bit laptop an hp
pavilion dv 7 3105 ae or something like. this machine arrived last friday
and i am waiting for my window eyes disk for it. you need a diferent window
eyes disk with the 64 bit windows 7 machine. i have system access on my
netbook so if i get sighted help i could use the new machine if it can be
connected to my router.  but wonder if i can use system acces by downloading
it on to the new machine until my window eyes disk comes to me. now how good
is the narator on windows 7 would that get me along until window eyes. now
my last one here sorry about the long email is. i had a big difficulty that
i could not download the most up to date iphone software. i got a message.
internet time out. wh  at i did to resolve this problem was to disable nod
32. not surely somewhere in nod 32 there must be a way to set a rule about
itunes. any help will be truly apreciated. many thanks.
