Interesting that you are connecting the PowerBraille from your serial
port to the parallel port of the PowerBraille! HMM!
I even baught the pass-through parallel cable from Freedom Scientific
and after that I found out that using that cable from the parallel
port with Windows XP Home and JAWS, it didn't and won't work.

Milton and others:
I use Windows 98 SE with Jaws 5.00844 and a Powerbraille 80. I use the
Powerbraille's parallel port and it works fine. The way I have it set
up is
this:
One cable goes from Com1 (serial port) of the computer to the parallel
port of the Powerbraille. Another cable goes from the Powerbraille's
printer port to the braille embosser. I use a VersaPoint Duo. I
haven't had any problems with these connections. Hope this helps.
