John, Alex and all,
First of all John, I am sorry about using the wrong address, I think I have
that corrected.
Alex, I have used the translator you recommended with little success.
The problem is that it calls for a USB to serial adapter and the serial port on
the index Basic-D according to the manual is used for maintenance, so, you
can't get much braille through it.
I have tried a Bluetooth to parallel and an IP to parallel adapter, but, I
could not find a driver to make it work.
If I can find a way to dump a file in to the parallel port, the onboard
programing in the embosser should make it work, at least that is how it works
with the DOS computer.
