Hi Pamela and list:To add to the volume of knowledge on this thread, the USB cable that is supplied with the Humanware Brailliant (Also known as the Supervario) will also suffice. I use the cables interchangibly all the time.

No, APH doesn't sell the cables. You can get them where digital cameras are sold. Also, the same cable that is used for the Pac Mate will also work.

The USB cable is plugged into my USB hub but when I insert the cableintomy unit BP Transfer does not open on my computer as the manual says itwill.If I open BP Transfer by clicking on its icon, I hear a "buzz" and thescreentells me that the unit is not connected. Other peripherals connectedtothe USB hub are runhing just fine. And the unit works okay in the Readmodewith just the headphones plugged in. Should I have the headphones connected at the time I do the above?Does itmatter that I have a screen reader (Window Eyes) running? I am using Windows XP Pro. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
