I'm sorry about your hearing, Julie. I know very well how depressing it is
to get tested and find out one has lost even more. It is too bad Braille
displays are so darned expensive! It precludes many peoplle from buying
them when they really need them. I hope you can get one someway.
Good luck,
Sue S.

Hi, sue. OK, then, you have the same setup I do, then. I would like to have
my braille Lite hooked up to my computer to use it as a braille display
since it's currently the only thing I have. I just had my hearing aids
worked on and found out I've lost about ten percent more of my hearing since
my last hearing test four years ago. I know my impairment is progressive,
but it's always depressing to find out how much. Anyway, JAWS is getting
harder and harder to use. I'm at a 50 percent loss now, so I'm going to need
to be thinking about a braille display eventually. Anyway, thanks. Take
care.

Hi Julie,
I must have made a mistake in my explanation. My Braille-Lite is not
connected to my computer. I meant that my compact flash reader drive is
connected on a USB port. I do not want my Braille-Lite connected to my PC.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Sue S.

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.

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>

yes, but what do you put into your Braille Lite? Or are you saying this
thumbnail drive has a serial port?
