Hi I have couple questionns about the brailliant display if you could let me
know what you think or ask the humanware I would apprecciate it:
1. does it mean that brailliant will be authomatically compatible with new
versions of jaws when they are released or the situation will repeat itself
that the drivers won't be available for a long time?
2. can brailliant work with other operating systems like linux, unix and
machintosh and so on?
3. does anyone know how does it differe from lets say alva 640 bc or focus
bluetoothh?
Many thanks for your answers.
Zdenek

Hi All
In case you are unaware, and like me use such a display, the following was
sent to me by HumanWare earlier today:
"I'm writing with regards to the Brailliant and JAWS 11 situation. There
has been a development on this, in that a new Brailliant JAWS 11 driver package
is now available for download from the Freedom website.
Note that this will only work on 32-bit Windows systems. There is an
ongoing issue with 64-bit systems, and this has yet to be resolved between Baum
and Freedom.
The new 32-bit Brailliant with JAWS 11 driver package can be downloaded
from the following webpage;
http://www.freedomscientific.com/support/JAWS-Driver-Brailliant-BrailleConnect.asp
This driver installation program works the same way as the BrailliantJFWDRV
program that is supplied on the Brailliant CD (and available from the HumanWare
website). Provided that you have the general Brailliant hardware drivers
installed on your PC, you then need to install this new driver package and
select the appropriate COM port to use. The Brailliant should then work fine
with JAWS 11."
The Brailliant does indeed work fine.
