Hi, Sue. How is your Braille Lite connected to a USB port? I definitely want more details for that! What did you have to get to make that work? I still have the serial cable that came with the unit...somewhere! <smile> I'm assuming you need some kind of adapter besides that. Please explain! <smile> Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype mercy0421 AIM mercylab421 http://juliemorales.avonrepresentative.com/ Currently in Winchester Regional, Virginia Overcast, 73°F Wind:S-170° at 5mph If a pig loses its voice is it disgruntled? ----- Original Message ----- From: "siss52" <siss52@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2007 2:18 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Bookshare and Braille Lites My Braille-Lite is hooked to a USB port, but the drivers that come on a CD coonvert the USB port to a serial port. You do not put anything into the Braille-Lite, except for the flashcard, which you take from the compact flash reader after books are downloaded onto it. I hope I have said this in a way that makes sense. <smile> Sue S. ----- Original Message ----- From: "lana" <lana5@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookshare-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2007 1:05 PM Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Re: Bookshare and Braille Lites yes, but what do you put into your Braille Lite?
