See if Belarc adviser gives you a clue, it's pretty good at listing hardware and software present on your PC and tells you where the hardware is connected.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Installing a Powerbraille 40


Hi List,

In the process of setting up my new computer: JAWS 9 (and some), XP Pro, and tried installing the above with no success. It is plugged into the mains, has a USB serial converter cable on and is plugged into one of the USB ports. Whatever I set it to, Com1-8, I can't get it to work. How can I: 1. find out which USB port is which from 1-8; I have tried looking for the Device manager with no success. Where to look?
2. make sure that the computer is seeing the Powerbraille at all;
3. Check the connections.

Tried setting it to LPT1 as an option and JAWS underwent a mini revolt along with the rest of the system; had to get sighted help to put the powerbraille back to a com port before it would clear an internet error report it wanted to send.

Structured responses welcomed as I frankly don't know whether I am coming or going with it at the moment.

Cheers,

Terry Brady
