Did someone (was it Catherine) need info on the MBoss-35 Braille printer?
Did George find a manual for it? Let me know if you need info; I have one
here which has been refurbished, and has the manual. The plastic emboss
strip has been replaced, along with a cable to the embossing head. I
forget offhand which firmware version is in the PROM. Works just fine
with DBT. The MBoss-35 was a European embosser with a North American
sticker on it. Of little use nowadays, but of interest, is its internal text
editor. Like an early notetaker, you can write text in the editor using
the Braille keyboard, do correctins and other things, save the ile, and
print it out. The MOuntbatten I believe has a text editor as well.
One day, if I can't unload it to someone who needs it, I I'd like to try
and replace that annoying message whichs brailled on the beginning page
when the MBoss-35 is turned on with a speech or audio prompt. The message
can be turned off with a control code, but I haven't figured it out yet.
The initial version and ready message wastes a Braille page. Turning
that message off would avoid this.
The MBoss-35 has four styli arranged vertically. When text is sent to the
printer, they march along in punchy precision, making our Braille lives
easier.
